Mike D and his friends approve.All I could find was black pipe and black powder as a kid. .for some reason there was a spool of cannon fuse lying around too. . I feel robbed that I never had a spud gun.
We had a guy at work once that built a film canister cannon for his desk that used a BBQ grill igniter button and hairspray. Had a program written on his pc to set off an actuator to fire it. He was good until I broke into the program and started firing it when he was not expecting. lol

This is what we called them. Or Spud Guns depending on the application. I remember a friend advising me to never light one off in an elevator. Said he couldn't hear right for a couple of days.Me too, and a 16 ounce can at the top. But this was when beer cans were steel.
Called them "Polish Cannons"
