Gaw-lee! Beats the heck out of my 'tater gun except when cost enters the scene. Tater gun-about $6 worth of schedule 80 pvc pipe and fittings, about $10 for the gas grill ignitor, and $1.59 for a can of spray-net for propellant...the 'taters are free. Will knock a dog on his butt at about 30 yards without killing him.
