me and my friend want to make a sort of potato gun. but instead it will shoot tennis balles from four barrels attached to a net so it would be like a net gun. the thing is all the parts we found were ABS pipe which seems like it could shatter when we ignite it. is there any chance of ABS pipe doing this?

obviously we wouldnt be using much fuel(hair spray probably) to ignite it

      Any pipe can shatter and burst if you stress it to much. If the goal is to really send the tennis ball, like 200mph plus, then use PVC and compressed air with a 2″ sprinkler dump valve.

      Search them on you-tube, for a video.

      Using fuel is always tricky, because it’s hard to maintain the exact fuel to air ratio for maximum yield.

      I have a diagram in power point but this website may be easier for you to access.

      I used a grill igniter in mine. This has a lantern ingiter. Either works well and is easy to change out.
