Charles,

Don't forget we blasted a hole in an old plastic chair that day as I recall. Sometimes one gets away and sails over the fence into the apartment complex up the hill behind the dumpster.

I have--as have a number of the usual suspects around here--fired that very potato gun, and I can tell you that it could be a lethal weapon in the wrong hands. As it happens--fortunately--the only victim I'm aware of is the dumpster out back of Joe's shop..
