It goes by many names: the lunch launcher, spud spitter, potentato, savory shooter, starch slinger, mash mover, harvest howler, fry flinger, hash slinging slasher, chip chunker, and sometimes it's just simply called Charlotte.

My physics teacher called the potato cannon he had in class a "rapid starch accelerator" because we can't have weapons in school. Then he proceeded to shoot it at the back wall of another classroom.
Linear Potarticle Accelerator.
my old teacher burned of some students face with a supercharged potato cannon
Could you actually make a weapon with this cannon by putting different ammo in it
@@ianjohnson3840 na
Maybe grenades or some kind of launcher but no
@@ianjohnson3840 I mean it already is a weapon
Seeing two grown men play 'Army' like they were five again made this one of my favorite MR episodes to date. ^_^
It was such a blast. Such a silly, salty, high-carbohydrate, blast.
I fuckn love this show. It’s literally about two grown man on a jeep fireing potato’s to a mannequin that has a fencing mask on
I'm glad you appreciate the ridiculousness.
Jason Murphy holyyyyyy f*ckkkkkkk you actual replied (i am a hugeeee fan)
Your grammar sucks #Jacksfilms
Jacksfilm will never notice you
This is what being an adult should be.
It isn't like this for everyone? I went from potato gun to pneumatic air rifle, why shoot potatoes when you can fire marbles.
Kan Meridoc why shoot marbles when you can shoot bullets
@@kittycat-sc7je Why shoot bullets when you can throw bombs on cities?
Well... That escalated slowly!
@@kittycat-sc7je how about world peace ;)
Really great effort on the paint job, guys!
haha... I'll take that as "look! they actually tried!" xoxo
@@ModernRogue hey if you happen to re-visit this episode you can use carb cleaner for better results with the potato gun

Joey Nicholson as an Irishman I can confirm.

Furry Trash the movie I can also confirm
IRA Time. *My Little Armalite Intensifies*
i was going to post something about all those lenses been covered paint. but then I saw a bunch of Irish lads talking shit.
this show is pg-13 myth busters, and the outtakes are rated R
Too accurate.
The Modern Rogue love the teams work.
Teamwork makes the dream work

“How do we mount Charlotte?”
Jason needed a cigar for being the gunner
I really did!
oh, man. You're so right.
Jason Murphy I’m going through and rewatching old vids but I was completely unaware you had your own channel!
idk woulda been dangerous when refueling. he shouldve just used kerosene instead, much safer
@@ModernRogue Brian please help me
Perfect timing, I scrolled trough my sub box and saw there was nothing new.
Me: 'I'm bored give me content'
Random refresh: 'Here's something about 2 guys and tanks.'
WOOOOOOOOOO
me tooo, i had nothing to watch but now i have a 30 min episode. thank you
Two Guys one tank
Mhm 🤔
Sounds like a porno
I'm already high on glue.
We're building a tank.
We're real scientists now.
"WAR TASTES LIKE FRENCH FRIES"
-Jason Murphy 2018
Tastes like fries, Smells like freedom!
I literally came down in the comments and actually read this as he said it. Coincidence? I think not!
Pre 'Freedom Fries' if they bound the PVC with tape an over pressure event would have simulated shrappy wounds from the German mortar strikes.
That it does
Captain Ding-Dong and Sgt. Spud to the fescue!
I'm really glad the fate of our planet fell into such good hands. Humanity is forever in your debt.
All I could picture when they were mashing the button was the Joker outside of the hospital
"Why do we not just paint _everything_ with pink glitter?"
Well, given the amount of overspray you've got going on...... ;)
See, this is genius. When the potato famine comes, the peasants can't revolt, since they have no ammo.
ShardtheFox, they lost their only munitions depot.
Except attacking them will end famine
But that's fine, they can't do much without ammo. Just wait em out.

"Oh measuring, Thats a good trick!"

8:29
The, "Smells like colors." comment went under-appreciated.
Also, the weapon you've made would be considered a "technical."
Rob Webb It's odd seeing a technical that wasn't a Toyota Tacoma
was a Simpson's line
"How do we mount Charlotte?"
"Spread the [tripod] legs..."
The level of immaturity. This is quality UA-cam.
A Tr ee
*YEEESSS!!!* Episodes with inhalants always have the best quotes!
That's quite specific.
Proud Titanic Denier But its true
Wow I love that smug smile on Jason's face when they test fired it
"Kelly's Heroes". Best tank film ever. Also, with the spud gun mounted on a Jeep, it may not be The Rat Patrol, but it's certainly The Splat Patrol.
Might be better to use a spud gun pressurized by air?
set up chamber so it's fueled by bike pump, and set up pressure gauge to keep "charges" consistent
use a ball valve between the chamber and barrel as trigger (it also means that you won't accidentally push the ammo into the chamber when loading)
But does it potatoe?
It potate very good
Next episode “The Modern Rogue makes improvised explosive devices!”
*bomb has been planted *
get the stunt ranch guy on the turret and baby driver driving one of these tanks
Yes
Not to be rude but it’s not a turret it’s a cannon turrets are machine guns
on a tank, the cannon is mounted to the turret, along with coaxial machine guns.
Ya man a turret is simply the spinning housing it doesn't explicitly indicate a weapon type. So not rude but wrong :)
My first thought when I saw "Improvised Tank" in my notifications was "Dear God, did they mount a mortar fire work to a tripod and put it on a car?" Good to know I was 2 for 3.
NICELY DONE~!
Hey, a suggestion for making a potato cannon, the hairspray sinks, so it's smart to put the igniter at the bottom of the combustion chamber!! (I know this because I do a potato cannon contest every year) Also, Aqua Net works the best for hairspray.
Isaac Mininger Thanks for the tips!
OH MY GOD YOU REPLIED!! YOU GUYS ARE LIKE MY HERO'S!! THIS JUST MADE MY DAY!!
where do you find aqua net anymore? I've been looking forever. I live in Colorado.
I can usually find it at a Bed Bath & Beyond, but you might find some at a Walgreens.
I’ve made a mini potato cannon that can shoot bb’s from a pen and a pill bottle. We used aqua net we choose that from the amount of warning labels.
12:10 "I mean, its flammable hairspray right?" Famous last words
Having been in Texas for 24 and having built numerous spud guns, they don't really care so long as no one complains. The firearm designation is to allow for easier legal action if someones actions deserve it.
_"Just know that this is... loose..."_
Seems to describe this channel fairly well whenever VOCs are involved.
Also, prequel trilogy reference for those filling out their *_MR Bingo_* cards....
omg, I want to see the MR Bingo cards now!

Someone make a 10 hour version.
Yes
War... War never changes
put a screw in the end of the barrel to prevent the problem at 11:50
Nathan Parker
Good idea. I'd have also put in a reducing T-junction with a 90 degree brass ball valve for fast/easy fueling.
Considering how similar a potato canon is in operation to a black powder muzzleloader, "patching" your russet loads (paper towel over the muzzle, insert potato, drive in with ramrod, pray) to make a better gas seal should increase effectiveness, so long as you're also able to replenish the spent oxygen in the chamber between reloads. However, this could also theoretically increase cylinder pressures well beyond the operational design of the components and cause the device to literally explode in your face, so a remote test-firing platform with adequate blast protection is absolutely a requirement.
Sch40 is actually fairly tough stuff but you're also quite literally playing with explosives, so... try not to die.
This guy fucks
11:04 was HILARIOUS. Just like how you guys had an injury episode, a compilation of times "We almost reset the injury counter" would be hilarious.
After watching all of your videos im gonna have TWO FBI friends
Fun drinking game: Take a shot every time you think “Wow, I can’t imagine any way this could possibly go wrong” throughout the course of the episode.
I love Bryan so much I used watch scam school but now I'm hooked on you guys
the diabolical laughter is great, was funny to see you make a potato cannon.
I mean yeah improvising a tank is pretty cool, but an improvised aircraft carrier would have been better.
ryngak oh my god it's digimon I haven't seen that show in years, is that agumon?
Nope, that's koromon. Agumon is the little orange t-rex looking dude. Koromon digivolves INTO agumon though. :D
ryngak ah I was close, it's been a while though lol
Well, they don't have an unlimited amount of cash. In fact, I'd like to see YOU try to improvise an aircraft carrier.
Pfft, an improvised Death Star is where it's at
This is a live action movie of Kerbal Space Center
How about the Modern Rogue makes chainmail?
Psycho Pyro Good idea!
Use heavy duty lock washers and interlock in a logical pattern and fashion. Bang them flat and seal it by brazing or soldering or JBWeld. Kevlar is a better alternative when considering weight. Plus, what are you going up against bullets?
Arrows? Cross bolts? Axes? Swords? Pikes? For just a cool looking chain hoodie to show off at the fair the washer plan is fine. For tactical apps make sure you perfect on a small scale model first.
Psycho Pyro 10/10 would idea with again
Lost Soul Oh, I know. That was a good episode, but I would like to see them make something that's for knives and can offer a bit of protection against slashes while still being able to be concealed under clothing
I made small version of this and i tried it with acetone and it seemed like it's more reliable
Put the starter switch on the bottom because the hairspray is heavier than the oxygen
27:05 XCOM player spotted :D
Isis instructional videos are really getting out of hand
Todd Mortimer hmm
If you guys made a "Garbage Tanks vs. Aliens" movie I would totally watch it. 😂😂
These DIY videos are so funny with you guys, always like it
Boro Tosic Thanks!
Jason: “Keep away from heat, sparks, it hot surfaces.” 5:25 *shrugs*, “Ehh we’re not doing any of that”
Finally. A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
ShadowAce37 We should have started this episode with an hour-long cutscene.
Jason Murphy if only you did
*the highest form of drive-by*
This is why I subscribed
"Did we get him, sir?
-Yes, sir!"
I love how they're calling each other sir.
These are grown men. I repeat, these are grown men... with a potato launcher.... named Charlotte.... and is covered in pink spray paint. Grown. Men.
:-)
Brilliant isn't it

Quite.
Praise Lord Tachanka!

WHAAAT? A MODERN ROGUE ON A TUESDAY INSTEAD OF A FRIDAY?!
Ad-Issues didn't allow for last Fridays episode :/
But it's 10 times better now!
It is always when it involves potatoes it is always fry-day
NANI? MODERN ROGUE EPISODE?
Yeah, I was just saying "Wait, I didn't get my friday fix of MR!" ...and then the withdrawal symptoms started.
If you guys ever want a bit of an upgrade, strip the end of the wires, wrap it around a screw and use 2 screws as the prongs. They go further down in the chamber, closer to the axis of the hole so it will usually work a little better. Also screws will last forever and never have any failures. I built one over 6 years ago and it still shoots great to this day.
ah, good!
30:05 More like "that was a *spud* ". Am I right, guys?...
... guys?
Kurt Yarish bdm tish
came to the comments for this comment. :)
30:05 “That was a dud!”....More like spud....amirite?
This week, on Brian and Jason huff fumes...
Tactical Hotdog yeah, i love how they do all of this always in the warehouse, such a well ventilated area lmao
Alžběta Donátová warehouse? More like improv garage in an office room!
I love Brian’s sincere, goofy laugh at 17:19. Like a kid with a lego set.
Oh, hwhoops, I was late. More like 17:17
Colourised footage (Circa 1944) of the 761st Tank Battalion "Patton's Potatoes" engaging axis troops at the battle of the bulge
Jason: "what's the best tank movie?"
Girls und panzer der film
Ah, I see I'm a man of culture as well
no
@@skynate07yt35 you are in denial.
Your spark isn’t strong enough. That’s why people used a flame to ignite it rather than a spark
Jake Doan Ah. Makes sense.
"We're building a tank! We're scientists! EUehaeheheheheeee~" This is why I love you guys.
Have y'all tries the armor piercing potatos
PinkDuck yeah a dun di' i' works reel gud
i use to fire those! its called a golfball without the white skin on it. they will blast holes in plywood with ease.
Loved when they realized they put the scope on backwards, great show guys
*looks at title* oh here we go again modernly rouging
Ah yes, modernly rouging. The most up to date way to "red" in French.
“Four tankists and a dog” is only tank movie I know
You guys definitely got high this episode
Prolly
I like how the blow dart is still just chillin in the alien😂
DING DONG! _Whispers_ never look down the barrel. Did Bill Doran call you later to curse you out over that paint job?
Jason: What's your favorite tank movie?
Brian: *has a Vietnam flashback*
Definitely worth the wait.
Thanks man. Help us share it around?
I made one last summer it was about as loud as a shotgun
I was really surprised by how loud it was.
Jason's helmet has a Loco Steve reference on it. I'm happy.
Justin Owen Heh. Glad you caught that.
I built a smaller version of this using a similar design but had a few modifications that seemed to help
1- Use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol (available at Walmart) spritzed with a water bottle
2- Sponge can be soaked in alcohol and attached in back, basically in a extra chamber where you put the end cap, works for not having to reload every time because the alcohol will evaporate
3- Use a dollar store hand held ballon/bike pump behind the sponge, attached how the spark is except behind the sponge
4- Use a T value with plug at base of barrel to load easier
totally tricked me there for a second 04:20
A tank is technically defined by the armour, not the armament.
This is more like a technical, which I admittedly consider to be more interesting and also cooler than tanks.
try using air power and a ball valve instead of combustion, much better reliability.
Nathan Parker combustion*
lol C O N T R I B U T I O N
Nathan Parker plus if they use air pressure it is no longer considered a firearm in Texas.
But what would this channel be without explosions!? HAHAHAHA... nothing but safe
Use a map gas torch (used for soldering copper pipes) with a nozzle/igniter combo connected to the chamber using acrylic tubing. If you press the button a little (before the igniter turns on), it will fill the chamber with a flammable mixture of fuel and oxygen. When you think that it is filled, press the button fully to ignite the mixture. Works great and extremely reliable! Can be dangerous if not used properly. PS - I am not responsible for any damages.
"Oh! Measuring! That's a useful trick!" This is where I lost it
I love world of tanks! Happy you got sponsored by them
Us too!!
"The only time he ever talks is when im around alot of glue and spray paint"
*crazy laughter*
Can someone animate this, the making and firing in an anime fashion.
I recommend sharpening the end by sanding the outside edge at a 45° or so angle, makes creating potato plugs far easier
17:15 that laugh....its the is high on paint fumes laugh
I'd love to see stevo and brian laughing together lol
YES, THIS IS WHY I WATCH THE MODERN ROGUE!
This is so entertaining I can't do anything else...
Gosh...addictive and entertaining.
From Mongolian horse riding to knife throwing, to this!
so glad you're enjoying them, man. Help us spread the word?
Fury with Brad Pitt and Shia Laboef. Great one. Actually the only one that comes to mind. LMK if there are some other really good ones out there.

Me and my friends were playing with one of these and I also said, "see if it's sparking." He didn't have eyebrows for like 2 months.
I got a tube from work that held gigantic poster paper and in the centre there was a steel pipe perfect size for a baseball wrapped in about 2 inches of cardboard(built around the tube permanently) and we turned it into a potato cannon using propane and compressed air fed into the gun by a needle for filling basketballs. we could shoot the baseball through four three-quarter inch Sheets of plywood and it would sound like a shot gun. Would also shoot tennis balls straight outta sight
At 10:30 Brian rips on Jason for staring down the barrel of a misfired weapon while earlier in the video Brian literally sticks his face in front of the exposed end of a primed combustion chamber and tries to set it off. I love these guys.
reminds me when i use to make potato guns, they rarely fired.
lil acne lol
This needs to be remade with a hybrid acetylene powered one.

Favorite tank movie is Kelly's Hero's with Clint Eastwood.
Keith Larsen So good!
It's been 20 years or so but I opted for pneumatic spud gun. Now I'm glad I did. As I recall the pressure you could get from hair spray was something like 35 psi, but with air I could easily get 100 psi.
I know exactly what I'm doing now. I have a little old yard tractor, a welder, and a desire for a mini tank. A mini tank armed with a spud gun.
... Or maybe even a *rotary* spud gun, for multiple consecutive shots against targets. Targets such as empty trash cans, random hills, and the occasional trespasser.
