Ahhh now this is my kinda topic.
My old flatmate is the true cannon builder but we built the latest one together.
A Bolt Action Spud Cannon......... Heres whats left of the bottle we used as a target from about 5m's (note we had to use a little screw driver to get it to smash completely, but it can smash a beer bottle with just a spud)
Its a very very long, ive got detailed pics of the whole build. But basicly we went down to Bunnings and 'dummie' built the cannon in the store with PVC (we got some real strange looks). But basicly cost around $130nz to build.
Also we have had trouble with our lighter as well, we are currently using a BBQ igniter (found inside the BBQ) and have mounted it in the chamber. It fires first pop alright but the 2nd shot doesnt have enough fresh air to ignite it again, which is the stage we got up to before he went on his OE.
Ive got some video of it too, if someone could point in a place to host it, would be nice  (and convert to dvix as its in raw format at the moment)
I also have the entire build written up, if anyone wants it, give me a PM or ill post it up here if you want. Its not as cool as the one above but its a real laugh.
The above statements are all fictional and those pictures are photoshopped.
PS: Only missing limbs were two eye brow's!!!
