Safety

DO NOT point a potato gun at anything or anyone you do not intend to kill or obliterate.

DO NOT look down the barrel of a potato gun.

DO NOT glue your barrel into chamber (this prevents potential backfires).

DO NOT use anything other than aerosol hairspray as fuel.

DO NOT use gunpowder or explosives as fuel.

DO NOT use acetylene, hydrogen or oxygen as fuel.

DO NOT use anything other than potatoes as projectiles.

DO NOT overload the barrel with projectiles. A full barrel is called a "Pipe Bomb".

DO NOT shoot a potato cannon in extreme weather (below 32 or above 100 degrees F) as it jeopardizes the integrity of the plastic.

ALWAYS shoot the potato gun in open spaces where you are sure that the potatoes will land safely.
