Because criminals can buy guns and bullets for dirt cheap, and they're far more effective.

>>lobs molotovs 100 feet probably
I wouldn't want to be the guy that tries this out.

What about reasonable citizens who need defense? Even criminals are rarely armed in many places.
Considering you can get it shipped to your door with Amazon no questions asked, I'd say so. With the right ammo it's got the power of a double barrel muzzleloader, just with way more finicky loading.
The barrel seems to be friction fit for overpressure safety, so it might have to be a pretty light molotov. Shouldn't blow up in your face though. They make a giant one that could probably lob at least a 1L bottle. Pic related, it's 5 feet long.

No. Sadly you must forget everything you think you know and begin again. A double barrel muzzleloader is identical in 'power' to a modern side by side shotgun. Literally no difference

Fuck you man, now someone is going to do this. If fifteen year old kids aren't allowed to make potato cannons in the future I'm blaming you. That isn't a world I want to live in.

How effective would these be as a hillbilly katyusha battery? Like 8 of them duct tape together with connected fuses to fire as one? Put a bunch of gravel and magnesium on top of a potato as wadding.

They look pretty damn easy to slap together with PVC, haven't seen a PVC one that wasn't air powered though. Banning it would make politicians look comically bad though, so it'd work in our favor.
Not at all, incredibly inaccurate, and since you add hairspray by hand you'd have huge velocity variation. You also hit the piezo lighter by hand so it's one at a time. But since they a) have a rainbow trajectory and b) shoot molotovs they'd be pretty tricky to take out in combat and effective against armor.

Make your own out of metal and yes
