The potato is technically a missile, but the statute that the Ormond Beach officer gave me says that the missile has to contain an explosive, incendiary, or poison gas. A potato does not.

Did I miss that part. Read this part of what you posted above:

any type of weapon which will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of any explosive and which has a barrel with a bore of one-half inch or more in diameter;
That description should fit any hairspray powered spud gun in the eyes of most law enforcement, district attorneys and probably most judges and jurors.
