I have nothing to do at the moment, so I felt like posting videos (not havin' pics yet XD) of the 1st spudgun my friends and I built a few months ago.
Classic.
Clean.
Makes a huge roar when getting ignited. Igniting 1st try about half of the time.
Propane powered.
Longest shoot at about 200m.
Average around 180m.
Takes about 13s when shooted straitght up to land back.
C:B : about 0.8
I am not the guy in that movie, and for your info it's potato vs concrete.

(it's french in it, and I know the cam is sucky.)
EDIT: Video should work now, new to youtube uploading.

OK first off, this made no sense whatsoever.
Second, your Youtube video isn't working.

Sadly I do not have the gun with me, the only thing i can give as would be other vids.
(uploading it atm, will take a bit of time)
But I can tell that its ignition system is a classic piezo placed at the back, on a screw cap (idk if i have that right).
4'' large 1' long chamber, 2'' large 5' long barrel.
All in ABS.
