I have never actually considered this gun to be mine, despite the fact that it has always been in my possession (and I've given it a designation). I built it for a friend, who lived with his parents at the time, and he didn't think they'd like the idea of him having a powerful potato gun like mine. He bought all the PVC, but he never bought a sparker for it, so I was able to fire it by borrowing another cannon's sparker cap. Performance was pretty mediocre, but you can get tons of shots out of just one potato. My friend has since moved into an apartment in a city, so his chances of ever taking it are virtually none.

Specs

barrel diameter: .75"
barrel length: ~36"
chamber diameter: 1.5"
chamber length: ~14"
C:B ratio: ~1.83:1
special features: unscrewable sparker
