[SEL] A real buzz

[Tim Christoff]

Hell Francis, we used Final Net hair spray which we would spray down the
tube and then used the potato like a piston bt ramming it in behind the
hair spray, had to use a stick as a plunger as we had a 6 foot long peice
of 2 inch pipe to work with.  For the ignition, the striker just didn't
always seem to work, so we threaded in a 1/2 inch spark plug and fired it
wit a buzz coil and 12 volt battery.  That sucker could really shoot, even
had soom recoil.

The
