Daniel Benjamin Berry, 17, received the injury after he looked down the barrel of the gun's PVC pipe barrel and was hit in the face by the frog.

This is similar to the gun a guy made in my electronics class (the same guy that made the stun glove).

Like a stun-gun, but the electrodes are in a glove. Basically, you just take the parts out of a disposal camera that charge up the flash (Kodak is the best). Then you somehow attach it to the glove.

Good stuff.

Um, what do the parents need warning for? It wasn't THEM looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. I've seen potato guns destroy the steel body panels of many a junk vehicle, you think a human face is stronger than that!?

After thinking a while, I'm trying to figure out how he managed to look down the barrel of the gun *and* shoot it. It's fired by one of those electric lighter sparks, and the length of this potato gun is around 5.5 feet.

If you read the article, it says it misfired. When he tried to see what was wrong, the gun went off and shot the frog rather than the potato.

That's the part I'm trying to figure out. Unless it was modified, the spark wouldn't just suddenly appear. He would have had to hit it on something - rather hard, in fact.

I'll shed some light on this subject for you all.

I have BUILT one of these guns that the kid got nailed with. It's a crapload of fun. He was just being an idiot.

I once, just for fun, loaded it up, and then put a lizard down the barrel. Heheh, I shot it off and my little soldier went flying half the distance of a football field. It was beautiful.

did you make a neumatic? combusion guns are a lot simpler and easier to make(and make a very satisfying boom)

I've made several potato guns and never had any problems. they're completely safe if you're not STUPID. the things are very powerful though, especially neumatics and combusion guns power with more "volatile" fuels, I like to use ether, doesnt leave any residue like hairspray.
