Here's what happens when you make a spud gun with black powder as a propellant. Don't try this at home, or anywhere else, kids.

I am sorely disappointed by the lack of video.

I am guessing it would be similar to this video....

Of course, I am also sure he was not speaking Arabic when he did it!

One piece of missing information is the guy's blood alcohol content. For many such stunts, the value is significantly greater than zero.

What are some of the most common last words of people who try stunts like this?

1. Hey everybody! Watch this!
2. Oh, sh*t!

Black powder artillery sounds like a fun hobby.

But it's not for idjits - and this man, apparently, was an idjit.

Reminds me of a joke.

"What are the last words a Redneck speaks before he passes away? HEY YA'LL!!! WATCH THIS!!!"

I thought it was "Hey, hold ma beer..."

It works both ways Rand.

I guess some people never tire of close proximity demonstration of the unsuitability of polyvinylchloride as a structural element of a pressure vessel when dealing with anachronistic low brisance propellants.

It's "hold mah beer and watch this sh*t."

Mike P: Its a good thing I already finished my orange juice; I would have had it all over the screen. Thanks, I really needed a good laugh. ;-)

Glad I could help.
