I am looking at some youtube videos of spud guns and they look pretty cool and easy to make. But they're all in America. Are they legal in Australia? Coz I really want to make one.
Illegal as follows: All combustion spud guns are considered firearms. * In the state of Victoria (Australia), pneumatic spud guns require a Category A firearms license, while combustion spud guns require a Category E firearms license.
u can go 2 jail for 2 yrs like a bloke i new but there fun lol easy 2 make just dont get cought with 1 lol tip frozen oranges go throw a car door lol ahahah
Are you talking about the little guns that fire small chunks of potato, or the pvc pipe cannon type things that fire the whole potato with compressed air...? If its the first one, I'd take a stab at saying they're legal in all states, but if its the latter, I have to imagine it would be classed as a firearm of sorts, (requiring some sort of permit?) being an air powered... cannon? lol, or launcher... Most likely illegal in all states except canberra, cause they can have all the good stuff... lol EDIT: Just saw Sashyre's post, what she said
Had a combustion spud gun a few years back that we built ourselves. Shooting it down the river in the open away from anyone when the Cops pulled up, warned us and confiscated the gun. Luckily we were cooperative and apologetic as I believe we could have been in it really deeply as it is considered a fire arm and could be a deadly weapon.
lol when i read the title of this thread i thought of the little red guns you buy a toy shops and shoot tiny bits of potato!
i can tell ya pvc cannons are illegal in Qld from experience....... and that they can go horribly wrong and hurt you really bad also from experience
We built one out of pvc pipe, big enough for tennis balls.. we used a hell of alot of deoderant cans to shoot these balls lol. We were about 200kms from civilisation down a river where I used to work on a Station... good times.
really? :whistlinghmmm might have to head back up the property and repair the old cannon as last time i used it, it exploded :bomb:
Start Ya Bastard works best I have found. You only need a tiny bit as well and it goes off with a hell of a bang. But thanks to our nanny government they are of course illegal.
mine loved tyre shine.... yes...aerosol tyre shine is CRAZY , and frozen limes are better shaped, i shot my mate with rotten apples as he ran HAHA, good times
+1!! i've found the same, the stuff you would never consider giving to someone to actually use for their hair.
