More Potato Gun Carnage...

This is an accumulation of pictures and explanations of different targets I shot with my potato gun.

The following items are before and after being shot by golfballs from my potato gun.

A 59 cent coconut from Kelly's Foods took a hit from a golfball.  The shell (mesocarp) was shattered in a round pattern from the point of impact.  I tried the coconut afterward, it smelled fine, but taste horrible.  The meat (endosperm) was fully intact except for a small hole at the point of impact where the meat fell into the cavity that was drained of its juices. The ensuing roll down a hill due to the golfball impact caused juice to fly everywhere.

Its not cheese, but a piece of quarter inch plywood rescued from a failed project of mine. It was quickly dispatched with shot from a golfball.  The plywood was unsecured so it flew about ten feet.  Had it been held in place, the golfball would have pierced straight through.
