My ammo list-
potato's(of course)
golfballs
cross-bow bolts
arrows
bb's
paintballs
drum sticks(FS-2)
lead
water
spit-balls
marbles
dirt
and a wide variety of out dated food
But...My favorite is probably the Toypedo. Give the fins a little twist, and the Toypedo turns into a real missle(2 inch diameter barrel). Heck of a kick though. I'm working on making it semi-auto, but that's a bit bulky.

I drilled a half in pvc barrel with an 11/16's wood bit attached to a three ft. allthread .I welded a bit adapter to the allthread and I came out with a 4' barrel , It shoots marbles through plywood and even a license plate. I put a tee at t he breech end and a tube with a hole drilled in it so I could load it at the front end , before gluing on the tee , slipped in a rubber oring that requires a little pressure for the marble to get through ,that way I can aim downward without my ammo falling out..I use a cut out coupler over the loading mechanism to keep the air from escaping. If I use continuous air and tilt the loader just right it will act as a semi auto. A 21/32 drill bit would have been a closer size to the marbles but I could only find that in a round type bit and it was 32 dollars plus tax because it's an odd size. I can get marbles at dollar tree for a dollar a bag ,A bag has 102 ,two of the marbles are much bigger than the other 100 and they fit well in a 1" barrel.
ive shot a 2 1/2 pound lug bolt wraped with electical tabe at a board, and it droped short, hit the ground, bouced up spinning insanlyfast and went all the way through my dads airplane hanger wall. i thought he was gunna kill me but instead he thought it was awsome that my cannon had that much power. (be careful when using heavy ammo like this it has a tendensy to rip through things like steel!!!)
hi i guess u guys already know this but www.xinventions.com has a pretty good ammo list along with designs and plans for cannons. hope its a help.
Trailer Hitch ball; Extreamly distructive
Oranges; (I have an orange tree) Good ammo if you have a large barrel
Battery; Make a slug our of a D battery by wrapping it with electrical tape
Rocks and Socks (my friend's favorite) Stuff rocks into a sock until it will fit in your barrel then let the rocks fly.
Calking Tubes (a guest suggestion on my website) Fits in a 2" barrel
Frozen Fruit/Potato
Rebar (guest suggestion) This is messed up but cool; load a potato and put a 3' long peice of rebar in after. This is pretty much a weapon so don't be dumb, it will go through metal
There are lots of other stuff I've listed on my website. Some of them I can't post here (like the dry ice bomb) as they don't want any explosive projectiles listed.

Yall need to try super balls... you know the little 1 in diameter ones that are easy to shake out of quarter games. I covered one in lotion for lubrication and shot it at a brick wall from about 30 feet. the ball bounced over my backyard fence, 50 feen away, and the last i heard of it was brushing a tree on the other side of the street. (heads up, dont use this one in populated areas!)

Theres a guy who had to make a potato gun for the american department of agriculture. The gun had two shoot 8 foot long 2 by 4s 100 feet. The whole thing was for tornado testing. Pics herehttp://www.spudtech.com/. So add 8 foot 2by 4s to the list of ammo
Are you like the biggest fricken retard! Sorry but spudtech is the biggest spud gun site and what your talking about is on the homepage. I dont think you link works either. BTW Joel is the one that made that cannon. Sorry I shouldnt get mad at you proalby didnt know that!
light bulbs are a very kool thing to shoot especially torchs at night time you can see them and where they go through the air looks awesome!!!!! also cds. i fire all the cds i can get from the tip!!! them fly through the air like frisbees then smash up on impact!!!!! also try tinned food, its cheap to get and comes in a rage of different shaped and sizes! try to get creamy or runny food as it bursts everywhere on impact. watever you do never try aerosol cans!!!!!!! they caine like hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!seriosly though.
The best ammo I have ever used has to be a golf ball in a expanda foam chassis. you get a nice thick slab of expanda foam, then cut pieces out according to your barrel, then hollow them out and insert a golf ball so it won't drop out. The foam chassis just brakes as soon as it leaves the barrel, I could not even see the golf ball. With a basic combustion spudgun this can put a hole through a stop sign.
