Shadow

Pack himself into a potato gun and fires himself into a trackless wasteland to recuperate. The other characters breathe a sigh of relief that the most powerful menace to their victory is gone. Or is he?

While Shadow is not around to reinforce it, the ban on firearms is lifted.

Oh joy...
*builds a recoilless rifle to fire potato cartages*
(Actually, that would be kindof cool in real life. Catch would be using just the right amount of powder to give it enough of a wallop, but not enough to cause a lot of real damage. I wonder how such a device would be classified by the ATF?)

A guy at my school built a cannon out of PVC piping that can fire 10 inch deckspikes all the way through a 4x4 block of wood. It has a range of close to a kilometre, although obviously no accuracy at that range. He also has a potato bazooka that can fling a badly mashed potato across a football field. I'm sure that both are illegal.

In the case of the potato launcher, I doubt it. At least in most places... I'm not so sure about the other device. I suppose it would depend on its mode of operation. Pneumatic? Fuel-Air? Explosive? Magnetic? Mechanical? Some combination thereof? I don't believe that a Pneumatic, magnetic or mechanical device is regulated by the ATF here in the US, though local regulations may apply.

It is in Canada. The potato cannon is powered by propane, and I am not sure about the other one. Pneumatic I believe, but I am not sure.

Humm... Sometime I'm going to have to look up CA law on that.
In the meantime...

*shadow goes underground in the trackless wasteland and build a digging machine the can burrow underground faster than a horse can run. Soon he will strike back at those who inflicted him with scalerot and forced him to grow this foolish tail*

*gives Shadow the incredibly well documented plans and source code for the cellphone device that switches Bjorn's ninja chicken/weasel status*
Perhaps those will be of use in developing a cure...

*Gets a horse that can outrun Shadow's digging device*
