While I was working on a project I began thinking that ammo made especially for the dispenser would be neat. Just a simple design.

It wouldn't be as large of an explosion due to it being surrounded by Iron but could be useful in home defenses. Or it could have more of a variety like fire bombs, a flare-like one, etc etc.

Holy god!!! The skeleton is swimming during the day!!! Why's it not on Fire?!?!?!?
disagree with you,people can still make their tnt cannons,some other people can just be more less creative.
You're welcome to disagree, my statement reflects the willingness to be creative to meet the ends of justification. I don't feel someone should be given a shortcut because they don't have to patience to watch a 5 minute youtube video to figure out how something works.
I don't think it should be explosive, really; it would suffice that the projectile be solid iron (no TNT in the middle), and produce a cannonball which cannot be stacked. When fired from a dispenser (which would be the only way to fire it) it deals 5 damage and/or breaks the first block it comes into contact with, save for obsidian. The kicker, here, is that you'd have a 30% chance of it becoming a retrievable item. Just make sure you get to it before the enemy does.
That's my take on it. I don't think it'll replace the TNT cannon, per se, as long as it's a somewhat different item. It already would be, to some degree: The TNT cannon has far more arc than the dispenser-fired cannonball would, meaning the cannonball is best-suited to defense (raining iron balls of death upon an attacking army from the ramparts), while the TNT cannon is better-suited (let's be honest; it really isn't that practical in the first place) to an offensive ploy. Of course, they probably aren't sufficiently dissimilar as suggested, but hopefully they would be if one just didn't explode.

Are you always so pessimistic?
Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

Egads..this is World of Warcraft meets Battlefield 1942 in a dark alley with way too much to drink and no discarded mattress nearby.
