This thread could be epic. Once they are constructed we should also try and launch beer cans with it. That should be the tube diameter size.

Barrel length:
Cumbustion chamber diameter:
Cumbustion chamber length:
Ignitor:
Fuel:
Projectile material:
Projectile weight:
Projectile shape: Anything else? Barrel lube?

they're often illegal in a lot of places though.
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." – Evan Tanner, 2007

Barrel diameter: width of a beer can, ~2in?
Barrel length: 32" seems long..how about 28 at best?
Cumbustion chamber diameter: 4-6"?
Cumbustion chamber length: 4-8"?
Ignitor: Standard- long grill lighter
Fuel: we should probably give 3 choices...say hairspray, throttle body cleaner, and something other than propane
Projectile material: for the comptetition- potatoes or equal use fruit or vegetable. For your enjoyment, whatever you want.
Projectile weight: again, potatoes.
Projectile shape: Potatoes. Feel free to change as you see fit. I'm open to whatever.

I've bought a few things, and haven't assembled anything yet, but if everyone wants to hold off for an official start/end date I'm good with that.
