Abnormal Ammo / Western Animation

• The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police: A promotional image featured the "rat-gat", a car-mounted gatling gun that fires rats◊.
• Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!: Being a satirical action-comedy cartoon based on an already notoriously goofy B-Movie, the Killer Tomatoes cartoon decided to use this trope in conjunction with Family-Friendly Firearms. Across the series we see things like a bazooka that fires ranch dressing with bacon bits, tommy guns that shoots pressurized tomato juice, anti-air flak guns that fire tomatoes, and machine guns that fire tomato seeds. Lampshaded mercilessly in one episode, where the Big Bad complains he could be using real bullets if he was on prime time!
• Batman: The Brave and the Bold: In "Joker: The Vile and the Villainous!", the Joker uses a gun that fires bullets that turn into boxing gloves.
• Camp Lakebottom: In "Big Top Terror", Doofus the Clown has a cannon that fires rubber chickens.
• Camp Lazlo: In "Mascot Madness", Edward's mascot the Duke of Lice has a lice cannon that shoots... well, you figure it out.
• Codename: Kids Next Door features weapons that shoot anything from melted cheese to live hamsters. Well, anything except actual bullets. It is a kids' show, after all. Mandy complains about this during The Grim Adventures of the KND crossover, as her new M.A.N.D.R.O.B.O.T. is equipped with mustard instead of lasers; turns out the KND scientists were using the lasers to slice bratwurst instead.
• Family Guy: Mayor Adam West has a cat launcher, which is just a crossbow that shoots live cats rather than bolts.
• Felix the Cat (Joe Oriolo): In "Detective Thinking Hat", Felix uses a toy gun when he becomes a Junior G Man, which uses Soda Pop, Grape Juice and Water as ammunition. It's able to use real bullets, too.
• Futurama:
  • "Godfellas" has Leela accidentally using Bender as a torpedo.
  • "Fun on a Bun": An army of cavemen takes out Zapp Brannigan's ship by catapulting a saber-toothed cat through the window.
• Generator Rex: Rex's Slam Cannon build grabs rubble and shoots that. In one episode, a fight in a bowling alley featured him treating the Pack to a brief bombardment of bowling balls. He also used it to shoot Ben in their crossover.
• A Gentlemen's Duel features the last-resort weapon deployed by the French steam-powered boxing giant robot: a howitzer that fires an angry French poodle named Fifi.
• G.I. Joe: One episode has the Joe team convert their vehicle and personal weapons to fire apples, using the vitamins in them to fight a giant germ.
• The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: Hoss Delgado can turn his bionic hand into a crossbow that shoots chainsaws.
• Invader Zim:
  • A gigantic, one-shot muffin cannon.
  • A devastating sandwich shot from GIR's head.
  • Dib's elaborate water balloon launcher, which is outdone by Zim's satellite water balloon launcher, which fires Earth's supply of water into Dib's enormous head.
• Jimmy Two-Shoes: One episode has a gun that shoot some small, unknown creatures.
• Kaeloo: Apart from the usual missiles, Mr. Cat uses his bazooka to launch a variety of objects such as books, sheep, paper balls, and people who were dumb enough to mess with him.
• The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack features a villain with a mechanical whale submarine, whose cannon fires juvenile delinquents. Somewhat akin to the three rarest varieties of Castor Shell in Outlaw Star, because the juvenile delinquents also served as its power source (well, they shovelled the coal, anyway).
• Men in Black: The Series: In one episode, an alien uses a gun that shoots lava on K, fortunately he cools it off with his Freeze Ray in time, but that requires J to break him loose of a pile of solid rock with the Noisy Cricket.
• Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series: The titular heroes fire weapons loaded with exploding... pucks.
• Motorcity:
  • It features a gigantic blinged-out tank more akin to a land-going battleship, owned by the insanely wealthy car collector known as the Duke of Detroit. Its monstrous gold-plated main guns fire over-sized stretch limousines as ammunition. Each cannon has its own magazine of luxury cars to blast forth, thus perhaps demonstrating the ultimate in weaponized excess.
  • From an Imagine Spot in the cold open of one episode:
    Kane: I have a gun that shoots a snake!
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie has a Party Cannon. Yes, a gun that shoots parties (more specifically, party supplies, which explains how she's able to set up parties so quickly). The Season 2 finale, "A Canterlot Wedding", shows it still functions as a weapon of the less-than-lethal variety.
• The Problem Solverz: In "Fauxboro", Alfe and Roba construct a Gatling gun that fires root beer.
• The Ren & Stimpy Show: Stimpy is reading the story of "Robin Hoek". He can't remember what Robin fired in the air with his bow but thinks it was a melon. Ren shoots a melon in the air which splatters all over him. He then believes it was a chicken, which Ren is prepared for as he is wearing a helmet this time. At the last moment, Stimpy surmises it was a moose.
• Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-Long Coyote: The titular character had an arsenal of trick bullets, each one unique.

• The Simpsons:
  • "Simpson Tide": An accidental version when Homer joins the Navy Reserve. Through his general incompetence Homer ends up firing their captain out of a torpedo tube, which then hits another sub. The men on the other sub remark that "We've been hit by an officer!" When ordered to return fire, the men are about to grab their officer who stops his men and says "Not me, a torpedo!"
  • "G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)": When Homer signs up for the Army, he is assigned to be the leader of the enemy in war games. While the Army uses live ammo, Homer's army has bubbles for ammo, because the whole exercise is just an excuse for the CO to murder recruits he doesn't like.
  • "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace": The make-up gun Homer invents. "Homer, you've got it set on 'whore!'"
  • "Tales from the Public Domain": As Joan of Arc, Lisa suggests that the French army use bigger soldiers in their catapults, or, better yet, rocks. The soldier who was about to be fired doesn't know how to feel.
• Slugterra: People shoot tiny cute creatures called slugs. When the slugs reach 100mph they change into their true form and have some unique effect before quickly reverting back to slug form. They're Mons as bullets.
• The Spectacular Spider-Man has been featuring progressively more bizarre ammo.
  • Tombstone's minions use full-auto machine guns that fire metal slugs which sprout tiny spikes all over in mid-air.
  • Silver Sable fires giant staples out of a never-named staple gun
  • Spidey gets to fight a massive battle across NYC's rooftops against the Green Goblin and his Hyperspace Arsenal, some pumpkin-bomb-launchers camouflaged as watertowers, and hordes of pumpkin-masked Mooks wielding bazookas that fire large metal slugs sprouting tiny spikes all over in mid-air.
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • A What If? episode in which Plankton and Mr. Krabs trade places has SpongeBob shooting a clothes cannon at a naked Krabs.
  • Another episode has SpongeBob behind the controls of a dishwasher turret, one so powerful that SpongeBob resorts to crossing the streams in order to clean a stubborn stain from a plate, and ends up destroying the Krusty Krab in the process. If you're wondering how beams of soap, water, and steel wool can cause any sort of explosion, don't.
  • SpongeBob himself ingests cleaners/soap bubbles and chews up bars of soap for use in battle. He's also an efficient snowball cannon.
• SWAT Kats has drill missiles. And claw missiles. And burning missiles. And net missiles. And chainsaw missiles and oilslick missiles and Tesla coil missiles and motorcycle missiles and jetski missiles and, very occasionally, actual blow-you-up-on-impact missiles. All contained in the body of a single jet fighter. And don't even get us started on the Gatling gun that fires balls of cement.
  • In one episode, a cauldron of boiling soup is attached to the Turbokat.
  • "Bride of the Pastmaster": When they're stuck in the Dark Ages, they rig a giant mace as ammunition.
  • "Chaos in Crystal": The characters hook up the rebuilt mining device to the Turbokat's arsenal, to use it to fix Rex Shard.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): The Shellraiser, the Turtles' Weaponized Car/Signature Team Transport, has launchers that fire manhole covers and balls of compressed garbage.
• ThunderCats (2011): In "Berbils", the mercenary slaver Conquedor wields a BFG that fires giant, brightly-colored globs of adhesive goo to stop attacks, while his Cute Machine victims the Ro-Bear Berbils later retaliate by building a green slime dispensing turret gun in defense of their village.
• The Tick:
  • A superheroine has a rocket launcher that fires groups of poodles.

    The Human Bullet: Fire me, Boy!
  • Yet Another episode has the Tick face a cannon that fires sharks.
• The Venture Bros.: The Monarch's costume includes wrist-mounted launchers that typically fire tranquilizer darts—but not when he's in prison, of course. When a jailbreak goes awry, in desperation he shoots pursuing guards with his new jury-rigged launchers, which he has loaded with random substances, including his minuscule cellmate, Tiny Joseph.
  Guard 1: What is this, Liquid Plumber?
  Guard 2: This is that orange powder we use when someone throws up.
  Guard 3: I got hit with a tiny little man.
• Wakfu: The Black Raven fires eggs that hatch into mini ravens.
