    Could you get a shotgun version of the spud gun that fires chips? :D P.S. not crinkle cut as these would be banned by the Geneva convention :rolleyes:

    I know some people in their 40s-50s who used to make pipe bombs to pass the time when they were kids.

    My dad when he was a kid was making black powder "mini-cannons" when he was young.... found a few remainders of the "good ol days" when we were digging up some trees in my grandparents house .(my grandad had spiked the barrels when he found them though)

    Needless to say these things were .. erm .. not excatly safe..

    he also taught myself and sis how to make mini rockets out of tin foil and match scrapings when we were younger..

    Things like mini rockets were of course with a fair few drinks on him... hehehe
