FAQs

PRODUCT QUESTIONS

1) Can I shoot whole potatoes?

No, potato cannons have never been able to shoot whole potatoes.  A potato cannon operates on the principle of combustion and requires a perfectly sealed and lubricated barrel.  Therefore the potato needs to be the exact size of the inside of the barrel.  Since potatoes do not grow to these specs, all potato cannons are designed to be used by shearing off the core of the potato into the end of the barrel.  To make this easier, we sharpen our barrels, creating a muzzle knife.  If you just drop a small potato in the end of the barrel, you will not obtain the necessary seal to pressurize the chamber and propel the potato.

2) Can I shoot T-shirts, Christmas Lights, Fishing Line, Ham Radio Wire, etc.?.

No. Not only will it not work, but it is also very dangerous. Potatoes only, please.

We ship to most countries worldwide. International orders may be placed right on the website.
