Me and a buddy were hanging out last night and drinking round the fire, thats when we got bored. So we went in the shed in an attempt to cure our bored then we got a brilliant idea. Lets see if the wild thing will hold up against a spud gun. Long story short after 3 cans of either and 50 lbs of tators the damn thing finally got hit enough that all was broke (gas/oil, all plastics, and we even managed to majorly crack the cylinder) its amazing how much damage potatoes will do when you been drinking, especially when your idiot buddy parks his truck behind the saw and overshots lol. Ford front peices are cheap broke the grill and drivers headlight along with bent radiator fins in one shot

didnt think to take pics, sry i was a little drunk. I thought i would share that something as soft as a potatoe can do so much damage to stuff. Maybe i will go down and buy another wildthing this week and get a video of it just have to convince the wife lol. In all seriousness the saw was already junk because of my buddies failed muffler mod

Potato guns are lots of fun. We've taken down a few widow makers with them.
I think the best one in our neighborhood runs MAPP gas ?
That one's got a push-button ignitor from a gas grill. :clap:

You do it too. I ain't fooled. I got half-dozen bowling balls in my garage RIGHT NOW says you'll hoot like an owl if I light 'em off in a mortar with a quarter-cup of pyrodex under 'em. Four toilets in the same garage argue similarly, and convincingly, that if I hand you my two Tommy Guns with full 30-rd sticks, you'll smash some porcelain.

Dudes like to blow stuff up. As it is written, so is it done.

I love playing with explosives. Don't get me wrong. But I play while SOBER. I prefer to come home to the kids when I get done playing with my friends. I will film the next log we blow in half so the mill will take them. That is alot of fun with 1 cup of FFG black powder. Easiest way to split wood as well.
