what ya think ov a home made potatoe gun

[SomeDude]

sawed off shotguns shoot the shot with less force instead of more, because the shorter barrel doesn't allow the gases from the powder in the shell exploding to expand to it's full potential and accelerate the shot as much as normal. The advantage is in concealment. A shotgun is pretty much a short/intermediate range weapon anyway, so the increased spread of the shot pattern is only an advantage if you can't aim worth shit. Also, since the pattern is more spread out, you don't get the effect of lots of pellets hitting near each other, which is what gives a shotgun it's close range man stopping power.

hey made a nice potatoes gun that fires spuds up to 500 yards and probley knock some 1 out going to make them and sell em on ebay when ready and made right what ya think

Don't tell me you have the tape there holding that thing together? You neeed to buy the reductor to make it go down to the smaller barrel size like mine that I made. (sorry no picture of it but I'll try) Make it look professional. I have found out two or three quick sprays of some AquaNet hairspray works great for the fuel.
