A discussion thread came up on the BGNW MSN forum about biodegradable stun darts, and "clay pigeons" (targets).
PhiSBA's original website used animal crackers (the ones we ate as kids) - but left the darts for pickup. I remembered Jock Elliot's discussion about taking walks with a stealth blowgun (looks like a hiking staff, or walking cane), but using marbles, or ball-bearings, and I began to think about this a bit ...
Candy canes, with the crook lopped off and a gumdrop tailcone? Leaves a sticky mess in the barrel!
Although, using pre-made candy might have it's advantages - especially the hard-shell type - like gumballs (http://www.candy4u.com/gumballs.html ranging in size from small to medium to large - from $3.50 to $5.50/;b. - again, no idea what the caliber is - but gumballs would leave a gum residue that takes forever to biodegrade), or jawbreakers ("Wonka" brand "Gobstoppers" are 1/2 in. diameter (no guarantee that they'll fit a .50 cal. barrel) and sell for $2.50 + S&H for a 7 oz. box at:

Want to have the coolest looking jawbreakers? All black, 30# for $68.00 + S&H at: www.candywarehouse.com/blackballs.html and let's not forget the Red Hot "Atomic Fireballs" (cinnamon flavor) - 38# of unwrapped .75 cal. for $76.00 + S&H.
Some of the jawbreakers are huge (1.5", 2.5", on up to 4" diameter) ... awesome slingshot ammo, or as a "baseball" - these can most likely be used for hunting with no problem about their stopping power! ... and missed shots - no problem, it'll eventually dissolve or be eaten! And, if they are a little too big to fit, just suck on them a little while, and let them dry off to size them! LOL
Hmmmmm. Walking down the street with a "stealth" blowgun, and a pocket full of jawbreakers. No way could that be construed as a concealed weapon!
