In college we made those and used newspaper to make the darts. Surprisingly accurate and with a push pin in the tip I was able to stick them into stuff at pretty decent distances.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Yep, I'll be building one (or more) of those.
I am very glad I didn't see this when I was a kid, though. I still might not be able to sit down if I had.

Now how do we get some real air pressure behind that dart. I built a life sized version equal to a howitzer 15 years ago. I used a 8" dia 3' stroke cylinder that was actuated by a lever which was actuated by a 2"x12" air cylinder. the little cylinder would compress the big one in a HURRY at 150psi and the resulting air rush powered a 2" cannon. this was shot once. It went so far over the planned 300 feet that it had to be torn down for safety and before we got fired.....lol.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

The potatoe cannon that can be built from PVC pipe, an old grill friction igniter and valve and line system, and a propane tank is amazing. Or, so I hear.

The potatoe cannon that can be built from PVC pipe, an old grill friction igniter and valve and line system, and a propane tank is amazing. Or, so I hear. Uh, yeah. Mom won't let me forget launching the first potatoes across the street into the neighbors yard a few homes down. That was the 1" pipe. We went to 3" and moved into the tiny forest behind the neighborhood. Splattering an enormous baker potato midway up on a tree trunk of a 100' tree would make the whole thing shake very noticeably. Those suckers had a little recoil too. Or so mom tells me...
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"
