The ammunition at this carnival is oranges
At the Carnival of Ivrea in northern Italy, organized teams throw oranges at one another. People on foot face opponents riding in carts. The dramatic origin stories belong to local tradition; the flying fruit is a very real part of the celebration.
Citrus becomes the equipment for a street battle.
