Potato "Cannon"

So I'm watching Myth Busters on Thanksgiving after my parents have gone to bed, and I see they did an episode on the glories of Duct Tape. That in itself is awesome. But it gets better. They did a bit on "Potato Cannon's" made of duct tape. What is funny is that I see they built a regular cannon very similar to one my friends built in high school. When Myth Busters shot it, they got behind a Plexiglas type of safety window. I feel disappointed in the badassness of the crew. When certain peoples took our potato gun out in high school, potatoes were shot into the ocean while holding the gun with bare hands and no safety goggles. Plus, a visible flame a few feet high would come out the end of the gun.

Oh yeah, the gun from high school was black too. Can't beat black.
