Really. If FR is anything, it is excellent entertainment and we should never take ourselves too seriously.
I love your comment, this family sure has a lot of creative thinkers! I love how various comments, almost daily, truly make me laugh!
Was it a fully automatic assault potato gun with high capacity “clips”?...
No, when shooting an assault potato gun they are high capacity chips.
Quaker Puffed Rice?
He was the eyes and ears of his neighborhood.
He will be charged with stalking.
If you light the corn silk, you have a tracer round.
An unnamed crew working out of a secret location, made a high pressure potato gun.
Led by an mystery engineer, using a pneumatically actuated valve with a pre valve reservoir,a tank of dry nitrogen and copper tubing.
Waiting until after normal business hours , they test fired.
The projectiles were NEVER found!!!
I think, you know all the co conspirators, and the guilty need to remain nameless.
My older brother made one of these about 20 years ago, and all of the men in the family had a blast at a family get-together. He did not even mind when someone blew a hole in his handmade wooden fence. Yes, he was a grown man at the time. :)
Patato guns are not PC!
We used to call them “polish cannons” and made them out of beer cans and electrical tape with WD-40 as the propellant.
+1.
Well it was “multiple corn kernels stuck to his chest”
To me corn cobs have been shelled and weigh almost nothing but cobs with the kernels still on them could smart a little.
Still - whole potatoes probably more destructive.
That is so totally WRONG!
Without the required orange tip, as required by Federal Law, the young lady is in a position of extreme DANGER!!!
I hate to think of what could happen if local law enforcement should stumble across such a sight!!!
PS: What is the central brown stick like veggie?
Also behind the leeks?

After a few beers, what could be more fun on a summer evening?
Too many variables to make that assumption.
The cobs could be wet and heavy, the nature, volume, sizing of delivery mechanism of the propellent, length of the barrel...
The cobs might be spiked with depleted uranium?
See my graphic in post 29 and tell me how many cartridges we but in the backside of that ‘tater’?
