Ammo: |
How To Use It: |
Potatoes (Spuds): |
This
is the primary type of ammo. It's dense, tough, and it can be shaped into a perfect
cylinder. |
Fruits and Veggies: |
It
doesn't matter what kind, just stuff it down there and let 'er rip. If it's too small,
stuff a larger fruit down first. |
Dirt in a Sock: |
Shapes
to the size of your barrel. Reusable. |
Confetti: |
Fill
the barrel with tons of confetti and shoot it. It's great for parties. |
Balls: |
Get
whatever kind of ball will fit your barrel and launch it. They fly well and are reusable. |
Hard Boiled Eggs: |
These
are better than balls. You may have to grease it up with Pam first, though. |
Toilet Paper: |
In
your T.P. gun, you shoot whole rolls, but in a spud gun, wad it up and get it wet, then
launch it. It makes quite a mess. |
Rocks: |
This
one's simple. Just drops a few in after your spud, and it'll go through some thick
material. |
Full Soda Cans: |
You'll
have to have these going fast before they'll blow up, but it's very impressive. |
Snowballs: |
Gives
you the competitive edge in a snowball fight, eh? |
Glow Sticks: |
Cut
off the ends of a few of those Halloween glow sticks and gently drop them in the barrel
after your potato with the cut end up. Fire it at night or you've wasted your time and
money. |
Grass: |
Just
grab a wad and stuff it in the barrel. |
Paintballs: |
Put
a bunch into an old rag and push it down the barrel. Great for a prospective Modern
Artist. |
Dirt: |
Just
pile a bunch of dirt in after the potato. |
Smoke Bombs: |
Mount
a smoke bomb into the back of a potato and put a little gasoline on the end of the wick. |
French Fries: |
Just
drop a bag of fries in there and you've got a shotgun. |
Potato Shrapnel: |
After
you've cut a few spud cylinders out of a whole spud, you have scraps left over. Cut them
up and drop them in after your potato. It's similar to the french fries. |
Water: |
If
you find yourself getting soaked in a water fight, Put a really tight potato into
the barrel and pour about a half gallon of water into the barrel after it. This'll get
your opponents REALLY wet. Watch out, though. It KICKS bad! |
Frozen Stuff: |
Be
CAREFUL when freezing fruits and veggies for the gun. You need to remember to A. cut it
first and B. watch where you shoot. Since these and frozen, they don't splat, they
penetrate! |
Ice Plugs: |
Take
another extra piece of barrel scraps, much like your spud cutter, and seal one end with
two-part epoxy. You now have an ice cylinder mold. Fill it with water and let it freeze
overnight. Pop out the ice and load it down your barrel. This makes one hell of a weapon. |
B-B's: |
Pour
a bunch of them in after your potato. |
Ice Balls (Winter): |
Grab
a handful of snow and crush it to fit your barrel, then soak it in water and let it
freeze. |
Paratroopers: |
Get
some of those cheap little plastic army men with the built in parachutes, pile about 10 of
'em into your barrel. |
Canned Fruit: |
Pile
some in after your spud and it makes a mess! |
Bolts, Screws, Nuts: |
Just
get a hammer and pound some metal into your spud. It does five times the damage. |
Snow: |
Get
the really powdery kind of snow and pour some in your barrel. It makes a huge cloud when
you fire it. |
Leaves: |
Same
as the snow. Just stuff a bunch of leaves into your barrel and raise a storm. |
Batteries: |
Simple,
and effective. Wrap some D-Cell batteries in duct tape to form a perfect fit, and these
babies are hard to stop! |
Baseball Bat: |
Baseball:
Shove a baseball down the barrel. Batter Up! Plastic bats work
well. |
