I know primates can be taught things like holding and shooting a gun.

when I was on the Croatian coast, we were leaving the house we were staying at, and I was packing my clothes. Then on my bag, I saw, what I thought was an odd looking ant.
I went to look at it closer, and it was a BABY SCORPION!

Fred, you some robot transformer lookin scorpion on your bag? (from your image link)
Primates holding guns. Eek.
Are there any animals that have the natural ability to shoot something, or project out an attack away from their body?

The Spitting Cobra spits venom on its prey.
I've heard some scorpions spray venom on their prey as well, but from what I've read, it's really just "digestive juices" to help them eat bugs and such.
Interesting scorpion fact: Bark scorpions of southwest United States actually glow in the dark if you put them under a black light. They're also the only scorpion that can crawl up walls. But be careful, they're poisonous!

that scorpion photo is really gross. Lisa S beat me to spitting snake. I saw one on Croc Hunter. He had to wear googles when handling the snake. I'd be wearing full body armor if i had to handle a spitting snake.
Snakes are evil. That's probably why the terrorist organization in G.I.Joe was named Cobra. You have to wonder if they are going to call Cobra a terrorist organization in the upcoming movie.

Oh, i didn't explain it completely. Vulture vomit is a deadly weapon that can be a projectile attack.
