Was there ever an occasion when pumpkins were used as shot instead of regular cannonballs?

Not militarily, but there's a recent "sport" called Punkin' Chuckin' where pumpkins are launched from all kinds of home-made "cannons" powered by rubber bands, springs, fire extinguishers, compressed air, or whatever. I think the record distance is well over a quarter mile.
Probably not. The pumpkins are plants, and cannons involve fire...
I'd agree that pumpkins wouldn't work with cannon. But there was an occasion in the early 19thC wars of South American Independence when hard cheeses were used as the ship had run out of shot. One of many crazy incidents of those wars.
