Popular guy with the nieghbours I see 
Will have to try this one in Spain - they have much thicker and stronger PVC pipe over there rather than the nasty thin stuff over here....so I can try MAP Gas instead
Think I'll invest in a tripod and remote trigger...the recoil looks a bit harsh and I'd like to keep my face

It is possible to make it rather more powerful by using one of those bend trap things as your chamber, for want of a better word, it just gives more space to fill up with gas. Getting the mixture right is the critical thing and you might have to let more air in. Deodorant works as well.
You can also make it recoil-less with a little bit of thought, this should improve accuracy and stop you falling over when you launch. Even small ones, like the one at the start, can have a range of about 200 yards so you have to be careful.

I've got to agree that the blokes in the video do look pretty sad but that doesn't stop normal fun loving people from constructing the device they demonstrate. Apart from anything else I imagine that no one with any common sense would discharge such a device in a built up area so I'd guess those blokes fall pretty low down on the IQ scale.
