Potato gun lands German men in stew
Three German men are facing weapons charges after being caught with a home-made potato gun.
The men were seen by a police patrol driving away from a lake in Kirchhain-Niederwald at speed.
Officers gave chase and stopped the men who told them they'd been trying out the potato gun in front of spectators.
The men said they'd got instructions on how to make the gun from the internet.
They'd used bits of piping and a fuse from a gas stove. They'd also used several spray cans to fire the weapon.
The men were also carrying a number of potatoes, and told officers their gun could fire potato pieces more than 300 yards.
The potato gun is classed as a firearm and none of the men had a permit to own or carry one."
