MATERIALS

In order tah build one of these monsters, yer gonna need the right stuff. Below there is a (mostly) complete list of everything that yer gonna need. Beware, this can amount tah a farily large sum of money.

Supplies for a Potato-Cannon Mortar (PCM)

**note: 5" pipe & pieces can be replaced with 4" if no 5" components are available

Also note, that I also have a Variant K of the PCM which is just slightly different. You should check it out!

1. 2.5' 3" length of ABS pipe
*ABS is recommended over PVC because if you screw up in the building process, yah don't end up full of shrapnel. Heed these words of wisdom.
1. 1' 5" length of ABS pipe
1. 5" 45 degree Elbow
1. 5" - 3" ABS coupling (also called a reducer)
1. 5" threaded female adaptor
1. 5" threaded end plug\
if you can find a scrap of pipe around, about 4" - 5" in length, that would be perfect. It's just a joining piece which you need.
1. BBQ push-button sparker
1. can of ABS cement
Epoxy (preferably not the 5 minute stuff)

Ok, now just go out to your local hardware store and pick-up all of this crap and return back to yer workshop.

Well, that prettymuch does it for what yer gonna be needin'. You could follow this link to the Construction part of this gun tah see how this all go's together.
