Pretty neat toy.
I started thinking about making a potato launcher(spud gun) the other day. Wife reminded me that they were illegal and I would probably do some jail time.

Friend has one like it...old billiard balls and toilet paper or paper towels for wadding...multiple shots also require a "swab"....

Can’t wait to see this in action.

Load it with bird shot and do some skillet shooting!!! 
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Load it with bird shot and do some skillet shooting!!! Get a triple limit in a single shot….. Think about a large flock of geese….
