ABS (black) fails by ripping open. PVC (white) fails like a grenade.
If you're in the market for a "potato holder" don't get the white one.

What if I wanted a specific broom?
In Washington state potatoes cannons were legal as long as you classified them a "line throwing device". I.e. something to throw a rope from ship to ship if you like lose an engine or something. So when you go to the lake to play bring a rope and a nail to stick the rope in the potato if the cops come and ask questions.
I wonder if this person is also into punkin chuckin?
That's trebuchets
That’s “pumpkin relocation assistant.”
Another name could be "rapid potato transport device"
Potatoportation
Raw potato masher.
Potato re-allocator
irish keepaway device

Corporate social media sucks
This is my temporary potato holder. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My temporary potato holder is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my temporary potato holder is useless. Without my temporary potato holder, I am useless. I must fire my temporary potato holder true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will ...
My temporary potato holder and I know that what counts in war is not the potatoes we launch, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit ...
My temporary potato holder is human, even as I [am human], because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my temporary potato holder clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ...
Before God, I swear this creed. My temporary potato holder and I are the defenders of my yard. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
Please, more "sets the potato down" and "push a button" substitutions.

Came here to post this. Shut up and take my upvote.
Good ol spud gun. Made one back in the day. My buddy went overboard and had one manufactured out of steel and used ether as a propellant. Was pretty wild compared to the pvc version.
That reminds me I wanted to build a firecracker shotgun. Still haven't figured out a sleek way to ignite them though.
Very rich fuel air mixture and a spark igniter?
Safer and less fun way, heating element.
Safer and less fun way, heating element.
Yeah that's what I've been considering now. Not just because of safety but also because it's reliable since nothing needs to be directly fitted into the chamber. Also more resistant to soot buildup. Maybe I can repurpose an old vape.
I made a firecracker gun out of lego technics when i was young. The munition was a firecracker too, was pretty fun.
I'm sure an internal striker could be engineered with some metal bits, maybe a 3D printer, and parts of a zippo lighter. Just shooting from the hip, but I bet there is someone with the knowledge and the time, if you brought the idea up to the correct forums.
My idea was glueing some copper wire to the bottom of the fuse and using a battery powered ignition mechanism but maybe I'm overthinking it 😅
Perhaps a door mouse could be trained to strike a match before retreating safely to a secondary chamber?
But then you have to train a cat to buy more matches at the store for the mouse and they always try to eat the money.
the broom stick is for checking if it's loaded, call it a cleaning rod
