Odd stuff.. That would be most likely marshmallows, glow sticks by the handfuls, and rolls of adding machine tape.

A full handful of glow sticks is great, but my camera doesn't pick it up well. Having a couple dozen kids ready to run find them is a plus.

Oh, one of my early cannons, a dead mouse. It's how the Mouse Musket got it's name.

a coworker once put a paper coffee-cup over the barrel of one of my cannons and didn't realise it would fork up the ceiling like that.. :D

We shot an old Barbie doll down the street once. Went looking for it, found everything attached but 1 leg broke off.

also fired a loaf of bread, made a real mess as it just blew all over the place.

A drum stick fits nicely into a 1/2 PVC barrel pretty well.

Are you firing these drumsticks at drums? :D That should make for a nice crescendo!

The weirdest thing I've shot out of a cannon? Huh, not much spud-gunning(I tend more towards airsoft, which means limited projectiles)
But the weirdest thing was probably a spider that had crawled inside a piece of 3/4 PVC pipe. Didn't know he was in there, and I was testing it for an airsoft rocket launcher.

It's was my pnoob gun using a ball valve. I shot a battery at my wall leaving a good sized divot which looked pretty cool.
