Im not sure if this is the right section but, is it legal to build and own a potato gun in Florida? Does anything have to be done besides the building of the potato gun (i.e. registry with ATF)?
and there's no danger of putting too much fuel in the gun. With a compressor you know exactly how much pressure is being applied.
schedule 40 is not rated for much pressure even schedule 80 can blow up.

The only danger I've heard of is using oxy acetylene as a propellant. It's kind of a no-no, as you can imagine.
A lot of states have banned potato guns I believe. That's ok though. It's a pretty dangerous thing IMO. What is actually a safer contraption is a air tank gun.

I just know it works way better than a potato gun (which we also built) and there's no danger of putting too much fuel in the gun.
So, we're probably OK until someone holds up a bank with a potato gun...
I understand the guys making these devices have a letter from BATF stating that they do not consider potato guns and similar devices to be firearms, provided they aren't used for illegal purposes.
