<div align="center">CLEAN SPUD

Provided By - Quaddawg

I was tired of the cobbled together look of Stun Gun combustions, too many wires, tape etc... also got tired of getting shocked by exposed wires, screws, etc... I used a wye on this gun, and sealed the stun gun works in the lower wye/grip. Sealed it off with a piece of pvc pipe. Took apart a stun gun and mounted the switch in the grip.

CLEAN INSTALLATION, I haven't seen anything exactly like this, or this clean looking... Pictures tell it all...

Here are some pictures to go along with the ones I already submitted.. I used the same idea and built a mini, with a BBQ igniter, and a larger scale cannon with a 4'11" Rifled (SpudTech) removable barrel. All three guns have sealed wyes and concealed ignition...

i like this idea i borrowed it for my combustion toilet paper/spud gun i got the toilet paper gun idea from some sight called xinventions.com of ccurse, they had plans for sale na... i can figure this out!! no problem my version one barrel 2''x41/2' for spuds one 4''x16'' for big bottles and grapefruit and one 5''x18'' for whole role of toilet paper!!!!! the chamber is a 2'' on 4'' y fitting i used barbeque ignition. the 2'' part of the fitting the sparker is in a 3/4'' pipe which is epxed to the handle part of the y fitting. the chamber length is 15 1/2'' long all together. i capped off a dry round one day when it was raining it had a really nice <<<<<<boom>>>>>>> <<<<<<boom>>>>>> :twisted: :twisted: and a 4 to 5 foot flame out of the end of the barrel. :twisted: :twisted: my neighbors were pulling weeds in the rain and came running aroud the corner ''what was that''??!!! :shock: i said oh it was just me!!!!!!! :twisted:they thought a trance former blew up!! thay kind of under stand me!!!ha :twisted:

That is a nice group of cannons. Instead of being showy with a lot of visible stuff to look at it is modest and more than what you see.

thts really cool i like the handle idea. For my ignitor i just used drilled a hole in the side of my gun then put a bbq lighter in the whloe and then put apoxy around the edge to seal it. this way no wires at all. it costs me 1$ for the bbq lighter to.

We... don't recomend doing that. It's a fairly weak way of mounting them, and they are liable to come undone and destroy something.
