Is it possible to make an animal that lays eggs as hard as rocks and a launcher that recognizes them as ammo. Or perhaps just to use regular eggs as training ammo.

I'm sorry, the idea sprung into my head and it was too much not to post it.
You know a part of you wants to....

Nah make bees into a type of ammo those things spawns over 10,000 and very well should be fire out of a custom gun.

Makes me think of that alien Half-Life weapon. 

[Seriyu]

Civ forge has a long-arm weapon that takes various random stuff and uses it as ammo and uses the throwing skill so I'd imagine it'd be possible.

I never looked at the raws for that though so I dunno for sure.

Theoretically, the [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:...] token could be used to make an animal lay arrows which you could then shoot from a bow, but using the token seems to cause crashes as soon as the raws are loaded.

You could have a reaction to turn them into 'boulders' then use a catapult to shoot them out. Likewise you could have a reaction that would turn them into bolts.

Nice.  31.19 hasn't been out for two days and we're inventing egg launchers.

For the record, mod in a cockatrice, have it and its eggs covered in instant paralysis contact poison, use it as an adventurer, and use your own eggs as a throwing weapon.

I'm looking for a cat launcher from you IT000. Given the awesome pic that is.

How are you not surprised it took this LONG to investigate egg launchers. Look at all the other crap we do and tell me this is out of the question. Given the sheer amount of stuff we do with magma, I'm astonished this wasn't thought of when Toady put it in the Dev logs. You all know I'm right....

[Girlinhat]

I thought of it as soon as I saw the Roc post on the big page ._.

This gives me an idea.  Do eggshells break?  We need to mod in EGGS FILLED WITH MAGMA and drop/throw/launch them at enemies.

Apparently not.

Doesn't work. The materials other than the egg's "shell" don't physically exist.

You could make a tool container (made of egg shells) then fill that with magma. Not sure what good it would do though. I can't seem to get a tool to be recognized as ammo, and I can't get ammo to have a container capacity.

No, make the bees into something that dogs can breathe out. That way, they shoot bees at you as they bark at you.

The ultimate security device.
