- johnchristopher 7y agoWell, we have the `patator` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeTluIkfHjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeTluIkfHjs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmWFPp0eTLU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmWFPp0eTLU (internationally known as the potator). https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=le+patator https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=le+patator
- mrmrcoleman 7y agoI’d never heard of that but we used to make something similar as kids with an aerosol can, a metal drain and whatever you want to fire, arrange upright like a mortar and with a small fire at the bottom.
- melcor 7y agoPotato cannons, not really rocket launchers. Rocket implies it being a self propelling object, so more of a missile-launcher/cannon. It may even be considered in closer relation to a mortar than rocket launcher.
- johnchristopher 7y agoOh yes, you are absolutely right. I am not really into weaponry so I tend to bag rocket launchers, mortars, bazooka and the like together.
- Someone 7y agoI wouldn't call DIY ones such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qassam_rocket https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qassam_rocket "military-grade"
