A potato gun Q, is basically a bazooka made from PVC or ABS pipe. Using gaseous propellents one can send a potato hundreds of yards at velocities past that which the potato was designed for. You can also put a potato sized hole (interestingly enough) in most types of people. The entrance wound looks like a potato. The exit wound, looks like a potato. -JCJ

Dear QS: I see you have already been supplied with the description. When I was young, I grew up next to a golf course that was surrounded by woods in which lots of wild potatoes grew. Firecrackers were legal too. We used to hide in the woods, put firecrackers in the potatoes and throw them at golfers just as they were ready to tee off. Really worked great. Were lots of water hazards on that course and often we could get them to drive right into the water. Then later, with snorkels, we dove in the water and retrieved golf balls which we could resell to the golfers at a nice income for us. Young men had lots of entrepreneur spirit then!! haha JDN
