Salmoncatcher - I'll see if I can get some pics of it tonight for you. I have to dig it out, but it is pretty cool. There is a trap door in the back to load the charge in that is hinged from the inside, so the blast just forces it closed even tighter. We even reamed the end of the barrell a little so that when you smash a tater in it cuts it nice and smooth so it doesn't smash. I use the big taters, never had one go mashed on me, at least that I could tell. I never find anything afterwards anyway. I use orange golf balls now and then so I can see them for a little while, but you have to pack them in a wad of some sort - damp paper towels work good - or else they roll out of the barrel and spin which puts a wicked hook on 'em! Avacados also work great because the meat will mush and not fly too far, but the pit - HOLY COW!! Deadly!
