Potato gun shoot

not sure if this would work with compressed air/gas guns... typically a firing chamber is pre-pressurized though a low volume, high pressure valve of some sort... and then the spud is fired by opening a large volume valve of some sort, usually a 1/4 turn ball valve..


or would a compressed air gun be exempt because it has neither a combustion chamber, nor ignition?

Good call.

How about we just limit guns operating on compressed air/gas to a specific PSI? Any particular number sound good? 75/100/150/200? Or do we say that compressed gas guns have to be manually inflated (e.g. manual tire pump/squeeze box, etc) - and then put a time limit on how long you are allowed to 'inflate' for. 30/60 seconds?

Are we set on a date for a this? I know 21st of july was suggested but is that firm? Just want to know so I can try to get it off work if it is on the 21st plus I need some build time.

compressed air (pneumatic) guns are already at a disadvantage to exploding gas guns,

if it were me, i would not limit compressed air designed at all..and simply state that if your junk blows up and kills you, your disqualified

Awesome information Jayock and asmotao! I like it so far.

I will add a poll to see what day is better. I will give 4 options and we will simply pick th eday that is chosen most.

Was a location decided on?

Why is that? My pneumatic gun fires every single time I press the trigger, ie: don't have to keep clicking some BBQ igniter hoping it'll go boom. My pneumatic gun also shoots farther than any combustion gun as well.

I also control the exact pressure that the PVC sees, not just hoping some random spray of hairspray doesn't over pressure it.

I also don't understand why you'd make the pneumatic guys manually create the pressure, if that's the cause you should make the gas guys mine for their own fuel.

I was just looking for a way to keep someone from showing up with a 5000 PSI tank in a 5" expansion chamber.

Or waiting for someone to get their little car air compressor up to 100 PSI.

If we do have a PSI limit I guess we are going to need to find a way to monitor it..

But the fewer the rules the easier things will be.

Yeah I dont want crazy outlandish rules, this is simply for fun and camaraderie. Just an excuse for us to get out and have a good time.

As for location, I was initially thinking somewhere out in Pawnee National Grasslands, but that is not set in stone. If someone else has a good place lets do it.

Maybe we can make a weekend of it like we were all planning last year and do a group hang out at the south site and do a clean up then also.
