HOW TO – Build a “net gun” Crispyjones writes –

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.

The net gun is similar to many pneumatic launchers, but instead of launching a single projectile, it launches four tractors that pull the net through the air. The tractors are based on the fact that the neck of a standard soda bottle fits very well over the outside of 1/2″ PVC pipe.

    As long as it’s not too powerful, i would think you would rig up a net of christmas lights and “attack” a large tree. Insta decoration!
