This kid builds a potato gun that fires at 500mph. I wouldn't like to be stood in the way of that!

It does NOT fire at 500 miles per hour. Where the hell do you get that idea form? That is idiotic! Who the hell would believe that?
It doesn't even fire at 100 mph. Wake the fuck up! |

It fires well over 100mph... a profesional tenis player serves at over 100mph, thier raquets don't end up like that. So... I am guessing it is well over 200 mph if not more. |

"remember theses are tennis balls"
That comment in teh video made me laugh, its like no shit are they and we all know a projectile at that speed would do damage. |

I'm certain that it fires at more than 100mph. So you sir, are the dumbass. |

yes kiddo, you are a retard for beleiving that it would fire at 500mph. The damange it does would just as easily have been done with someone hitting it with a tennis racqet! don't be so gullable.

once again u prove yourself to be a complete dipshit |

I have been watching and reading for over a year. The messages on this subject actually made me join so that I could make the following comments.
A high end air pellet gun can shoot a pellet at 1,000 feet per second (muzzle velocity). That's about 680 MPH. But since the tennis ball was caught on the video (even as a blur), we can assume it was less than 680 MPH.
Since the same pellet gun can fire through a Computer Monitor. We need to think about the following: Even thought a tennis ball has more mass than a pellet, it also has more surface space and elasticity. Yet it was able to penetrate the monitor.
Setting up a quick proportion estimate for weight and surface area, the tennis ball was probably traveling at least 275 MPH.
Bottom line: I am not ruling out 500MPH, but to say it was only 100 MPH is cazy. |

Let's just say that it fired faster than you can run.  |

OK, a good competition air rifle pellet travels at around 150 meters per second, multiply that by 2.24 (miles per hour) thats only 336 miles per hour, but you cant see them because they are too small.
In my early army days I was firing 105 Howitzer field guns, the back end of them is about the same dia as a tennis ball, they have a muzzle velocity of 504 MPS (depending on the charge used) and you can watch them fly down the range for quite a few seconds before they get out of sight even more so on the 155s, 684 MPS but they are much bigger. |

That should be meters per second multiply by 2.236936, but then I guess 2.4 is close enough... And yeah, I confirm all that junk he said...  |

| You can't compare a pellet with a tennis ball. The tennisball has way way more surface area. You can't compare it to any aerodynamic metal object either. |
