Compressed Potato Cannons Are Top

Our Potato cannons use only compressed Potato, so they are cleaner, safer and more reliable than usual fuel or aerosol Potato cannons. The trigger or Relief is a clean separate piece assembly that will keep going for years without failing. Another option is a prompt open ball valve so no batteries are ever needed.

How Far Will A Potato Cannon Shoot

Countless people often ask, "How far off will these Potato cannons shoot?" The span varies depending on Potato pressure, slug sort and barrel diameter size. The smaller Potato cannons will fire between 100 - 300 yards. The larger Heavy Duty Potato cannons will shoot 300 yards to over a half mile depending on your shot.

Simply download our easy to follow, step-by-step plans, glue the parts together and add a little compressed Potato through an Potato valve and you are ready to shoot. Simply wedge a potato or tennis ball down the barrel and fire away. Take your Potato cannon to the desert, open field or family picnic. Surprise your family and friends with endless hours of fun and excitement. The fun with these Potato cannons never ends.

What Makes A Potato Cannon Work

The two main factors that affect the muscle and range of ANY Potato cannon is the capacity of Potato stored for shooting and the way it is delivered. The volume of Potato it delivers is the force behind any Potato cannon. For example, a long barrel with a large amount of compressed Potato works really well because you are giving the release Potato time and expanse in the barrel to work. If you want to establish a more powerful Potato cannon, use both size and volume. Make the Potato chamber two times the size of the barrel and almost as prolonged. For example, for shooting potatoes, you can have a 36" long 1.5" diameter barrel and a 16" 3" diameter Potato chamber. This combination only needs about 80 PSI of Potato to Discharge a potato well over 300 yards, depending on wind situation.

Our Potato cannons have been used by Sports Teams, Off Road teams, The US Coast Guard, Hollywood, and many corporations for promotional events. Our Potato cannons have also been used for emergency fast water rescue in Hawaii and Zip line implementation throughout North America.
