There are a variety of ways to make your projectiles, ranging from murderous to fun. However, it is important to use your creativity and not learn just from me.

The easiest and one of the most effective ones are just rocks with enough masking tape to fit down a barrel.

Aluminum foil is always fun, going faster than a hard bullet but they do not hurt at all. Unfortunately, they are limited with accuracy to only ten meters. Don't be fooled, if one of these hits someone in the eye, they're blind.

The one of the deadliest bullets in the arsenal. Three small nuts (nuts and bolts) taped together with a lot of tape so they fit the barrel tightly.

The classic pouring water down the barrel is so intense. It sprays well and has a lot of recoil!

The greatest and evilest bullet here is hardly a bullet but a dart. Take a nail about 4 cm long and put a ball of foil down until the flat part stops it. Then tape it secure. Make sure it snugly fits in the barrel and also has no trouble going down. Then take some more foil and roll it into a compact tube 3 cm long. Then add some tape fins to one end. These fins are angled apart from each other like a helicopter rotor so that it spins in flight. Attach this tube onto the end of the foil ball.

Wouldn't it be easy to make a mold fromsomething resembling eggs or just fasion your own, but make a plaster mold to make egg after egg quickly.. you could even us the same material they use to make greenware in ceramics even though that mud takes a while to dry..basically pour it in, let it dry for a short time then pour out the rest..what's left inside sticks to the walls and whallah! An egg mold!

Oh yeah..forgot to mention to make the mold so you can open it..basically slice it right down the center with a hack saw, but keep it TIGHT so the mud doesn't just leak out making a huge mess..For that matter you can buy egg molds cheap on ebay i bet...they DO sell large bead molds too you can alter a bit.
