    Capture you some food this weekend with this net gun that shoots a 90-square-foor projectile about 25 feet. The launcher uses a 1″ PVC pipe and looks like something Boba Fett keeps in his other pants.

    I will show you how to build a net gun out of materials available at any big box home improvement store. This net gun is capable of firing a 90 square foot net 15 to 25 feet using 80-100 psi of compressed air. The net is reusable, assuming your prey doesn’t destroy or run off with it. The launcher section is modular and can be removed in case you want to modify it or use a different design. You could thread on some 1″ PVC pipe and have a Christmas Cannon.
