Wow, that thing had some power. I'd love to see how far it could actually shoot a can.

Why does it have to be beer? Seems like a waste. Use that canned sparkling water crap or soda or something.

You're right. I imagine with that type of pressure something more durable is needed. PVC works good for tater cannons but they don't have near the velocity of that thing.

Useless fact, so many people started making potato cannons that the A.T.F. actually had to pass laws about them. They're like a class 3 firearm now, you have to get special permission to obtain/build one. lol

Hahaha, its ok, it's all in good fun. I have to tell my dad just how many people thinks he looks like Charles Bronson. He has gotten it before. One of his friends calls him Charlie instead of his real name...
