If your going to "play" then try a .....grape. Nothing like a challenge to top off the great play date.

We have chickens and an over abundance of eggs. A friend and I save up the slightly damaged or otherwise unusable eggs and scramble 'em with pistols. It's best to wait until rain is coming to help clean up the mess.

Eggs always make a nice splat as do tomatoes

In the early summer when I thin my pear trees I take the small pears and shoot them with 22 pistols, wildlife clean up the mess. Around halloween lots of people leave pumpkins for trash pick up, lots are whole, I save a couple for punkin pie the rest get a small hole cut in the top and filled with water and placed at various distances from 50 to 300 yards to check my 270's sightin for deer season (gun season starts here the weekend b4 thanksgiving).

Artichokes.
I have no idea if they explode or whatever---I just happen to really, really, despise these things!

Artichokes: So we have another hated fruit... or vegetable... or... whatever they are. Kill those artichokes and grapefruits!! Do you prefer to hunt fresh/raw artichokes or canned ones? BTW, expensive game ain't it?
We need more pics and vids of fruit, veggie, melon, and gourd splattered guts!!

As a kid I attached 3" decking screws to a wire and tied off on a tree branch. Just push potatoes onto the screws and blast away.
Potatoes definitely provide some reaction, even with rimfires.
I couldn't bring myself to shoot delicious artichokes, or any good veggies...non veg starchy potatoes I can blast with a clean concience.
^No kidding, most of the mass marketed beers, Miller, coors, Bud...ugh, they need to be shot for attempting to impersonate a real beer. Any consumable that needs that amount of marketing to sell it is probably crap.

Okay so we've added murderous acts toward old beer, watermelon and overgrown zucchini. I don't follow the waste of the beer regardless of skunkiness but... I'm a cheapskate and beer lover. Watermelon? Old hat, my friend.
Where are the pics/videos?!? Okay, I'm being hypocritical. I've no demonstrative visuals either. But come on!! Where's all the veggie/fruit/melon bloody gore??
I shoot skunked beer precisely because I am a beer lover! But I have a couple of brothers that agree with you.
If I can't preserve my supply of skunked beer from my brothers, I sometimes shoot generic cans of soda. They are cheap and pretty fizzy too. I like to shoot pumpkins, Osage Orange hedge balls, and cucumbers.
Sorry, no pictures of shot up fruit, having too much fun shooting it with a gun, than to shoot it with a camera.

^^^ What is that ugly green weird thingy?
The fruit from an Osage Orange tree.^^^ What is that ugly green weird thingy?
We call 'em "hedge apples".

Good for chucking at little brothers,
absolutely inedible except to squirrels horses and cattle with a strong stomach. Also for target practice, depending on what you shoot it with, it can make a really good mess.

2A was "political" when it was first adopted.
Hedge apples ae reputed to be good for repelling spiders. Our local bodega sells them for that purpose and I am trying them out this year.
Prolly like chicken soup for a cold... can't do any harm, might do some good.
I limited my fragmenting targets to gallon jugs of water. (Depression baby, can't stand to see food wasted.)
G'day yourself, Aussie bloke! !
What's a "slab" of beer?
And 1000 meters seems a looooong shot. Couldn't even see the reaction to the bullet impact.

While not food, taking gallon paint cans filled with water and sealed tightly, then placed upside down will launch when hit with my 7mm@ 100 yards. As Oddball said in Kelly's Heroes, it makes "pretty pictures"

I don't think they work on spiders, but work on a lot of other household bugs, but as you say, can't hurt to try.
I think a "slab" refers to a pallet, and while a 1000 meters (1km) may seem a long shot, well aged Aussie beer is potent stuff. He may merely be exercising proper caution.

Peeectures? You want peeectures?
Okay, how about five hunnert'n forty frangible foot-pounds from a forty five:

The watermelon was seriously overripe, as you might have guessed by the Winter snows on the ground. Besides, it had accepted its fate and went without a whimper.

1chemist... How do you know that watermelon wasn't quietly whimpering? Were you there for its execution?

Slab!
G'day everyone,....
A 'slab' of beer you might call a pallet.
Down here its usualy 24 375ml cans secured around the neck by plastic ties.
And you should be able to see any hits through your scope well enough.
Unless you can get your hands on a few 'Kegs!"
(maybe with a little Tanerite?)
But this was about fruit and Veg,....
Aussie.
