Not unless you first fix bayonette. The potatoe gun is an unreliable weapon in short range. Trust me.

Then it falls under the... umm... sharp pointy objects... regulation.

Yes, but is it a Russian potato gun or a Chinese potato gun? Bayonettes are illegal on Chinese potato guns.

LOL! Those are cool T-shirts. I like the one that says "Vote for me if you want to live!"

Well, in the ad, I saw that you could get a pistol grip. And as we all know, the pistol grip and the ability to attach a bayonet will cause it to be classified as an assault weapon. That is assuming that duct (duck) tape meets the definition of attachment. But it could also be classified as a mussel loader. But then again there is the problem of the 2.5 to 4 inch barrel. I think anything in the muzzle loading 4 inch range would be called cannon.

I wonder how lethal a 4 inch spud would be when launched at over 100fps. Anyone want to do the math?

I guess we should also talk about nail guns too. And let�s not forget that old stand by, the zip gun.

Well, you can run an extension from the bottom of the pistol grip to the stock. Then it becomes a "thumbhole" stock and is legal.

Does anyone know the average weight of a potato? We will need that to calculate the muzzle energy of the weapon in order to calculate its probable effectiveness against a charging dog.

Hold on, the dog is muzzled? Or the potato?
