Guacamole Gun

Post by MGH »

What is a Guacamole Gun? I tried searching the forums and either there are not posts on it or nobody knows how to spell.

Hmm I call it a orange gun or spud canon. Basically either a explosion or compressed air based funnel like gun that can shoot what ever you like out of it like fake blood, confetti, ball bearings etc. I prefer air based n a metal tube as it is safer than explosive based (based on first hand knowedge), but more complicated to make. Highly illegal over here though, you can get in deep trouble.

they're illegal in some states, also air canons are different because they project stuff (confetti, blood, etc.)

just use it wisely. Don't go running down your street shooting dogs with it. Us guerillas have to be smart and cautious. I shot a bottle through a car door with one in my younger days lol. Was also shot by one with a load of baked beans at close range.

Using compressed air to propel the shot, as oppossed to a small focused explosion of gases. Most kids over here use the old electric oven lighter and hair spray type. You need good glue for the pipes and fresh pvc. Any fault in that baby and you may also go BOOM lol. I had one seperate in my hands once. Huge flash and the combustion chamber winded me :)

I would say do not do stupid things publically, construct it properly and experiment with types gases, amounts and types of shot. Just remember that they can project things very fast and hard. As I have said i have seen a hole blown through a car door, an orange shot through a windscreen and a host of other fun things

I'm with Grant on this one. Air is much safer. I had to have a very painful surgery to have a shard of pvc removed from the fleshy part of my knee.

ya to thread reseration

Image

are they legal in VA, why yes they are (live in VA and have one) in essance you can make one from just some pvc pipe and an air compresser. Here is a quick run down of how I made mine. maybe some pics later.

One long pvc pipe
one ball valve
some pvc pipe glue
an L joint
and a valve to conect to my air compresser (this will totaly depend on your compresser so just know going in)

Total cost minus the compresser $12

take the pipe cut into two parts one thats longer for the barrol and a shorter one this is where we will store the air. Now conect the two pips toghter with the ball valve in the middle.

Attach the L bracket to the end of the shorter pipe faseing down. then atach your air compresser valve here.

All you do to then get it working is close the ball valve load the gun by pooring your blood down the barral (I used a mix of corn syrup and water because the strate kyro was to think to shoot) and you then turn on the compresser, which stores air in your smaller pipe. Be carful here and don't over fill as it doesn't take that much.
then point and open the ball valve the pressure escapes throwing your gore we got a really full shot to go maybe 4 feet.
