A spud gun is a small children's toy used to fire a fragment of potato. To use, one punctures the surface of a potato with the gun's hollow tip and pries out a small pellet, fitted snugly in the muzzle. Squeezing the grip causes a small build-up of air pressure inside the toy, which propels the projectile. They are short-range and low-powered. Harder, drier potatoes are preferable sources of ammunition; red potatoes, or refrigerated potatoes serve well.
