Tucker and I get one of the compressed air guns ready to fire. Tucker just LOVES to chase the spuds!

Here, Gil fires the handy-dandy handheld gun.

I am helping Nick get the hair-spray-powered gun ready to fire. This one is a little more complicated to operate.

Nick slaps the plunger on the ignitor and the spud goes a flying;.

I am probably offering some worthless spud-gun trivia at this point. To my right is the Big Bertha of my arsenal, which is powered by compressed air..

After a particularly effective shot, we are all looking up range.

This is a shot of my first spud gun. It is powered with White-Rain hairspray and ignited with an electric grill lighter.

Here is my small compressed-air model. The horizontal tube is the accumulator, which builds up the pressure for the shot.

Here is Big Bertha, which is also powered by a compressed air charge. The two four-inch tubes lying on the ground act as the accumulator for this model. There are also interchangeable barrels for different size projectiles.
