Imagine about a hundred kids between 18 and 25, all wasted, shooting whatever we could fit into the gun off the top balcony. The next day, the apartment complex issued a notice that said it was against the rules to keep a potato gun in the community....they should have let it go. Because within a month, the cops had been called out several dozen times to deal with kids who'd acquired potato guns after hearing 'it was so cool!' from us and 'you shouldn't do it' from management.

They will try to fill the chamber with propane and load it with tenis balls that have spent the last three days in a bucket of kerosine. They will then fire it into the backyard, use too much propane, exlopde the chamber sending PVC shrapnel everywhere and burn off all their eyebrows and suffer many almost-serious (I almost lost an eye) lacerations. Luckily we did this in winter and didn't burn anything down. To Evolving Squid: Yes.

Ahh, definately did some nasty things in AIT to my fellow students. For more fun, add pepper and such. I don't know why I stopped pranking after training... I'm at the perfect unit to continue the hilarities.
