| Thing To Shoot |
Comments |
| Apples |
In case you run out of potatos |
| Nerf Balls |
They don't hurt if you get hit with one |
| Hard Boiled Eggs |
They shoot far and fast. Lubricate them with Pam or
cooking oil |
| TimBits |
Most of the time they fit perfectly. Use the ones
filled with jelly |
| Wads Of Toilet Paper |
Makes a very nice splat when used wet |
| Water Balloons |
Make sure that they fit the barrel perfectly. You may
want to cover them in duct tape so they don't burst as
soon as they are fired |
| Tangerines |
They make a nice splat |
| Confetti |
Try this one at parties |
| Mud In A Bag |
Long range and leavs a mark |
| Cow Patties |
MOOOO! |
| Full Beers |
These things have to fly FAST to blow up, but it's
worth it! |
| Snowballs |
Great for getting a litte bit of a advantage in
winterwars.... |
| Tennis Balls |
Don't shoot 'em at tennis players during a
game |
| Bouncy Balls |
Put them in front of the potato in the barrel and aim
it almost straight up. Soon bouncy balls will rain down
from the skies! |
| Glow Sticks |
Cut the tops off of about six glow sticks( we had a
2" barrel on ours). Insert them after the potato,
gently, with the cut end up. Fire at night and you get a
30 foot cloud of surreal glowing mist. When it settles on
bushes it is very weird looking. |
| Crab Apples |
These babys shoot similiar to paintballs : fast and
messy. |
| Onions |
They fit in the barrel better than potatoes and they
shoot further and smoother but it stinks up the gun. |
| Golf Ball |
You'll need to have a gun with a VERY small barrel to
launch this, but DAMN does it go far!! |
| Lemons |
I found it works well. |
| Clump Of Grass |
Pull a clump of grass out of the ground - make sure
it has plenty of soil stuck in the roots. Shove it down
the tube, and fire. Great if you can't find any fruit.... |
| Rags Soaked In Gasoline |
Shove it down the tube and fire the gun. Fireball
launcher! |
| Hamburg |
This stuff really splats. |
| Coke Bottle Tops |
Cut off top of 20 oz bottle top...rap in tape around
base to make good seal |
| Caps Off Areosal Cans |
Just take one and shove it on the end. It's cool when
they make dents in ceilings =) |
| Tracers |
Did this with model rockets. Ever seen the little
plastic balls that you can get out of the gumball
machines? There are generally two sizes. Small and large.
When filled,with a liquid and then "kinda"
sealed, they make great "heavy duty"
paintballs. I would strongly suggest something waterbase.
|
| Light Bulbs |
Simple incandescent bulbs (or LEDs) and cheap battery
provided illumination at night. |
| Corn-on-the-cob |
Raw COTC works perfectly in 1.5" barrels. cut
pieces about 2" long. They get a bit sticky, so you
may have to clean the tube. But wow, do they go! |
| Frozen Oranges |
Use with 3" PVC. Do NOT shoot these at people,
I've put one through 1/2" plywood from 50 feet. |
| Golf Balls |
You have to wrap them in damp paper towels, but about
25 feet out of the cannon the paper towels fall off and
the golf ball keeps going.... |
| Full Bottle of Pepsi (glass) |
Need fairly wide barrel, and it does go far, but
makes hell of a shattering sound.. Awesome. if you tube
is too small, your screwed. Too big?... just add some
duct tape around the bottle. |
| Sock Full Of Sand |
Fill a stocking with about 1/2 a cup of sand. Do not
have to tie. |
| Frozen Twinkies |
Found in back of frige! Made a mess. |
| Apples |
Softly shot my rottweiler with an apple. He ate it. |
| Raquetballs |
Bounce like hell when shot on a wall |
| Crushed stone -1/2" in diameter |
Drives your neighbors crazy when it hits their tin
roofs! |
| Paintballs |
First you have to have some fireproof wadding in
between the combustion chamber and the painballs. It's
recommended that you load about 20-30 balls and to use
the gun for thinly covering large areas. |
| Rocks |
Hurts like hell! |
| Hardened Play-Dohİ |
Make into balls, let dry, cover with soap/hand cream
etc. Goes far, and makes a hell of a bang and explosion |
| Shotgun Pellets-#4 |
With a 6"-1" gun I've shot a duck. Just put
a some 1" styrofoam down the barrel first and pour
in about 4oz of pellets |
| Potato with arrow through it |
Ram down potato like usual then push a hunting arrow
through from chamber end. Don't shoot it at people. |
| Iceballs |
In winter make a snow ball and dip it in a bucket of
water , then squeez it till its solid ice. Hop in the car
and find some snowmen in peoples yards......Then blow
their heads off. |
| Slime |
Find a toys R us store buy like 10 containers of that
goopy slime stuff (I like green) and make a cup for it
our of the bottom of a 20 oz coke bottle (plastic). Put
the cup in first then dump in about a galon of the green
stuff :). Find someone to shoot. |
| Steel Wool Spud |
Pin some steel wool on the bottom of the spud. Ram
the spud down the barrel steel wool first. When you fire
it off it looks like a meteor! |
| Peaches |
Great for shooting at seagulls. They go after em. |
| Those plastic soldiers with parachutes |
Reusable and very cheap. |
| Eggs/Paint Eggs |
Take an egg and poke a small hole in both sides..
Blow the yolk out through one end. Gum up one hole with
hot glue or tape (weaker). Fill the other end with paint,
glue, chalk, or any other creative materials wrap around
with protective wadding (paper towels, etc) to fill up
cannon chamber. Pull trigger and watch it fly! (SPLAT!!) |
| Wet Toilet Paper |
No Comment |
| Fireworks |
They ignite with the flame |
| Dirt |
Get really, really dry dirt and crush it into a fine
powder. Load a bunch in it, use styrofoam or a potato as
wadding. Makes a really nice smoke cloud. |
| Little Poppy Things |
Those little paper, tear-drop looking things, that
you throw on the ground and they pop. Use styrofoam
as wadding and load a bunch in the barrel. Shoot
straight up in the yard. |
| Bottle Rockets |
Remove the stick and cut a hole all the way through
the potato. Insert the rocket into the hole (it should
fit tight) put one drop of gas on the end of the fuse.
Put this in your gun spray, and whoooosh. When the rocket
has burned out the whole thing will explode. Lots o
fun. |
| Smoke Bombs |
cut a hole in the back potato that is a little
undersized for the smoke bomb. Cut the fuse in half,
insert the smoke bomb (fuse pointing back) put a drop of
gas on the end of the fuse, load, spray and fire. Good to
scare people. |
| Under-Ripe Tomatoes |
If you can find a tomato bush, you can get some
tomatoes that are still hard and green. Hell of a splat! |
| French Fries |
Just ram them in there and you will have a shotgun. |
| Cricket Balls |
In australia we play cricket so there is ample supply |
| Wet Diaper |
First find an un-used diaper and cut a hole in the
middle of it. Shake out all of that fluffy stuff into a
bowl, add a lot of water and the stuff soaks it up. Put
this gel-like stuff in a small cup and drop it in your
gun. Good to have fights with. |
| Potato Salad |
Stick a tater in first then Woosh!!!! May be
messy.... |
| Tinned Fruit |
Ppen a tin and put a handfull into a paper cup. It
goes splat. |
| Morter Rounds (Fireworks) |

about distance... |
| Banana |
Great to fight with if you have a small barrel and
makes one hell of a splat. |
| Acorns |
Shotgun anyone!! |
| Medicine Bottle |
Get a medicine bottle and fill it up with petrol
(i.e. gas, keroseine, alcholl, ect..) then put the lid
on. Then pour some gas all over the outside of the
bottle and load it in your gun. shoot it at some cement
walls. When the bottle hits the wall the gas will go
everywhere. |
| Frozen Potatos |
Ram the potato in the gun so its the perfect
size. Freeze it and you have garage-door-piercing
ammo! |
| Doggy Doo |
If the neighbors dog poops in your yard all the
time, and you are tired of it, take a styrofome cup and
load it with the doggy matter. give the neighbor his dogs
doo back! |
| Clay |
The artist choice |
| Old Fish |
Pleases your neighbors when it hits their window at 4
a.m. |
| Rose Petals |
I launch rose petals using the
"Air-Launch". Much safer than a spud gun and
gets a respectable distance. |
| Water |
I use the "Air-Launch" safer than a
spud gun and water creates a fine mist. |
| Ketchup |
Put in stryofoam cup. Great for fake blood. |
| Empty Shotgun Shells |
If you have a small barrel, put some wadding down the
barrel first, then put in an empty (strongly recommended
or else you could have a real problem on your hands)
12-gauge shotgun shell with the brass end up so that it
comes out of the barrel first. Goes a pretty good
distance. |
| Frozen Tennis Balls |
Cut a little hole in a tennis ball, fill with water,
put freezer till frozen. Should be right
size. Stuff down tube and fire away. Note: DO
NOT SHOOT AT PEOPLE!! Makes loud boom when hits
something hard like brick. Shot right through
friends garage from 100 feet away. Have fun |
| Styrofoam |
Take two styrofoam cups cut down to the size of the
barrel. Then glue them together at the base.
These are cheap easy and kick ass with paintballs! |
| Pencils |
They stick into things |
| Squash |
Like the name says. |
| Match Heads |
Take some strike anywhere matches. Break a lor
of heads off till you have a well sized quantity.
Wrap tightly in a small bag. A small packag ewill annoy
people. A large package may frighten people.
A package to big, may hurt people. Please above all
else use your head!!! |
| Shaving Cream in Medicine Bottles |
Makes a hell of a splat (use the gel, its better). |
| Flame Cloud |
Take some fine saw dust. Then spritz it all
over with gasoline, or drench it with WD-40. Fire
this at night, it is spectacular. |
| Flames |
Spray Wd-40 all along the inside of the barrel, then
spray some all the way down to the combustion chamber,
flick the sparker and... BOOM!!! This looks really cool. |
| Kamakazi |
Make a paper dart, yoknow the things you always make
in math class. Spray the tail end with
Gasoline. I certainley hope you don't shoot this in
Math! |
| Tennis Balls With Matches |
Cut a hole small hole in a tennis ball, and fill it
with the heads of 'strike any where' matches. Put tape
over the hole and launch. |
| Eggs |
Put 5 or 6 pieces of notebook paper in first, then
drop an egg in. Great for long range egging!! |
| Unripe Quice |
Just like a potato only wood! |
| Boiled Peanuts |
They make cool little splats when they hit things. |
| Dry Corn Kernals |
Shove a potato down the barrel and take it out so you
have a potato slug. Cut the slug in half and stick one
half down the barrel followed by some dry corn kernals
then the second half of potato. This makes a really kewl
shotgun!! |
| Soda Cans Filled With Wet Sand |
Increadible with a power spud gun... |
| Normal Potato (new method) |
First put your potato in the barrel, maybe 1 or 2
inches in. Then spray your propellent into the chamber,
go real heavy and then put the cap on. Now push that
solid Idahoe goodness down to its normal spot. This works
because you compress all the air in the barrel and there
is more oxygen to burn the more fuel, thus a more
powerful shot with a good old spud. |
| Vinegar (or salt water) soaked Egg |
Soak an Egg in Either Vinegar or Salt water. This
will soften the shell enough to fit in a 1.5 inch barrel. |
| Sugar |
Put a styrofoam cup in the barrel, put a cup of sugar
in the barrel and fire. Feels really cool when
falling down! |
| Jelly Beans |
Jam a wet towel down the barell and pour in jelly
beans. Sticks to trees. |
| Dead Birds |
This is cool...put them in feet first, really cool if
it is winter and they are frozen, they will act like
darts.. |
| Flour |
Sprays everywhere. Covers everything within
range. |
| CO2 Cartridge |
Put an unused one in a potato or wrap it in enough
duct tape so it will fit in barrel. When it hits it
explodes. |
| Paintballs |
Can be used for paintaball
matches to eliminate many at once....Packs
a hell of a punch! |
| Icing Sugar Bombs |
Get a load of T.P., soak in petrol, lay it out flat,
put in about 3oz icing sugar on the TP then wrap it up
tight. Fire this - it goes flaming to its target
and makes a cool fireball when it hits! |
| Spike Ball |
Take a potato and size it for the barral. Take
a bunch of nails and stick into each end of the
potato. Goes like hell, and sticks to anything it
hits =) |
| Full Can Of Shaken Up Coke |
Shake that stuff until you can't shake no more, then
load it up and blast away. Blows up real good when shot
at hard stuff, and makes a nice mess too. |
| Resin Bullets |
Pour catylized resin in pipe nipple the size of your
barrel. Pop it out when it sets up and grind front down
to bullet-shaped head. Crisco works as good lubrication.
Will destroy anything and is reusable if bullet does not
explode on impact. |
| Beanie Babies |
Piss off your little sister, really expensive! |
| Red Potato |
Fits perfect for 2" barrell! Kicks butt! Good
distance and no mess. Cheap too. |
| Flour |
Flour is highly combustable when air born. Be very
carefull!! |
| Four Foot Fluorescent Lights |
Need 1 1/2" diameter barrel. Wrap masking tape
around the metal base of the light until light slids down
into the barrel. The light explodes on impact. I
recommend wearing eye protection in case of light
breaking and exploding upon being shot. Caution! These
lights contain mercury which is extremely poisonous. |
| D Cell Batteries |
Wrap battery in masking tape until the battery fits
smoothly in barrel. Recommend Energizer batteries because
they keep going and going and going. |
| Glue (such as modeling glue) |
Fill a ping-pong ball with your favorite, flammable
glue, drench in gas, load and shoot. Nice fireball. |
| Potato w/Smoke Bombs & Strobe Flares |
Cut two holes in back of potato put a smoke bomb in
one and a strobe flare (the things you light and they are
like strob lights) in the other. Cut fuses add a drop of
gas to the tip of each one. |
| Wet Snow |
Put a styrofoam wad down the barrel then add the
snow. No need to pach. Acts like a shotgun. |
| Boche Balls |
Very powerful. Goes very far, durable so it won't
explode went you shoot it. Explodes on impact (like brick
wall or something hard) water goes everywhere. |
| Silverware |
Put wadding in, drop silverware in. |
| Hacky Sack or Footbag |
Drench in something flammable...hehehe |
| Plumbs |
When they are pushed down the barrel they lubercate
it, when it hits your target the hard seed inside of it
will destroy your target. |
| Grapes and Carrots |
When first making a potato gun I started with a small
one. It was small enough to fit grapes and baby carrots. |
| Pineapple |
Pineapples are cool. I call it the tooty-fruity. When
it hits, it splatters. A lot. |
| 4 oz. Peanut Butter Jars |
For 4" barrels. Fill with anything you can think
of. Packs a hell of a punch. |
| Gravel |
Take some gravel about the size of marbles (use a wad
in front of the gravel). I went skeet shooting with my
potato guns. Has a good spread, and decent accuracy. |
| Glass-Glass Filled With Sand |
When it hits it acts like a grenade. |
| Frozen Orange Juice |
It kinda melts which gives it a smooth ride and it
sails! |
| Yakult Bottles |
Fit perfectly in 1.5 inch barrels. Use full of yakult
or try emptying and filling with what ever you want. |
| Air Deoderizers |
They fly like hell, and if full they can blow a hole
in the side of a car, not that you would do that. |
| Water |
First load potato, then pour in water and food
coloring. Shoot when there is snow on the ground for a
cool effect. |
| Condoms |
Good way to wreck an outdoor party. |
| Sulfur |
Get some powdered sulfur, mix with water, and put it
in a tennis ball. Cover the opening and shoot. The target
area will "wreak for a week". |
| Crisco |
Put it in a bag, it'll usually hold. If not, you've
got some cleaning to do! Makes a great splat! |
| Wadded Sock |
Floats like a blimp. |
| Pickles |
Squish when they hit and make your target smell for a
week. |

people or houses! |

This looks like a flaming catapult ball. (note: it
will start a fire) |

Load a potato then put a cup of powdered chalk on top
of it. Makes a big cloud. |

| Potato Rocket |
Get some of those camping matches that have heaps
more flammable red stuff than normal matches and stab the
wood ends into the back of the potato. When you launch
this the matches ignite and the potato looks like a
rocket. |
| Baseball |
Unfair pitching advantage? |
| Spice Girls bubble gum |
Chew up a whole bunch of it and cover the bottom with
the crappy stickers. The'll stick to anything, and are
not that dangerous. |
| Crayola Crayons |
Stick in gun. And make your own drawings. If you melt
them while in the gun before use they will fuse to
target. Like a car, a wall, etc. |

Makes a fiery splat!! |
| Water |
Put a potato in then pour water in. In a second it
will be raining in your back yard. |
