Weaponized Potatoes - 10/12/15 06:55 PM

Video from the weekend of the shoulder fired potato cannon I built a few years ago. The first shot hit the table in spot where there was a brace and did not do too much damage. Shots 2 and 3 though found unsupported parts of the 2 x 6 and blew right through. Firing cheap red potatoes.
