The spud gun itself is not inherently more dangerous... it just depends on the person using it. If you do a shitty job making it, then screw around with it, you're probably going to get hurt. But if you realize that whatever's coming out of the end has something like 95 pounds per square inch of air pressure behind it, and treat it accordingly, it can be very safe. As long as you don't shoot someone with it, or look down the barrel?? you'll be fine. Besides, what kind of an idiot looks down the barrel of a loaded spud gun? Maybe a darwin award candidate...
