enough with fancy dancy ignition.
« on: November 27, 2009, 04:46:53 PM »
So I had this idea....  take a #11 nipple from the extras I had, drill a hole and screw it into my spud gun, make a spring loaded hammer (some metal and a bungee cord around the chamber, and viola - cap and tater spud gun. 

Anybody else have this much time to think on their hands?

 Yup, that'll work. I have a similar setup (no bungee cord :)) on two of my black powder cannons.

Yeah, I was thinking, bungee cord to just pull up and drop on it.  Or, since it is easier and get me shooting faster, might just hit it with a hammer:)
