Pretty much whatever you can think up. I have a Sugarcraft gun and I use it to make fondant and gumpaste ropes a lot. I made my crown (in my photos) from gumpaste rope pieces made with the gun. Just experiment with it and there are a ton of cool things you can do with it! 
I found one trick that helps to push the fondant or gumpaste through a bit easier. Lightly grease the inside of the tube from the extruder, just put a bit of Crisco on your finger and coat the inside. Or you can put some Crisco on a small piece of paper towel and push it in one end of the tube and pull it out the other end.
I just purchased a Sculpey Clay Gun Extruder with 19 discs. Could some kind soul enlighten me what can I make with them?
How much do they cost? I have admired the things others do with them, but can't justify a large expense.
Thanks.
aobodessa, i bought mine at Michael's. It was about $10. Make sure you get the green plastic one and not the silver one. I bought the silver one first and the silvering came out all over the fondant. 
They make fancier (more expensive) ones but this one works great for me!
WOW 
! those are cool! You did that with fondant through the extruder? and it only cost you $1.29? I feel a trip to Michaels coming on...

i picked this up at michaels using a 40% off coupon. i like that it's metal and solid. i also l like the idea of doing crisco in it first! brilliant!
cool! i chose the one i did because i'm not the strongest gal in the barn. I liked that it had a twist T top action.. no pushing it thru, just twist the handle. i just wish i could find a bigger one. the part that holds the fondant/clay isn't very large.
I posted a link yesterday on another thread. Earlene Moore sells a tool that can be used with the Wilton Cookie Press. This tool will let you make ropes and such as long as you need them. Since you'd use the cookie press, you can put more fonant in it than with the clay gun. If you order the tool with the two discs, one is an adapter for the small discs that come with the clay guns. Here's the link:

Missy, I just went to your photo album and I love that 2-tier cake with a table set-up on the the top tier. Really awesome.
I have yet learn how to make human figurines.
Thank you very much. 
I actually did use my clay gun on that one too! As for figures, those were my first major ones. Not too shabby, but I still need some practice.
Hey, that's the green plastic one I have - I know I paid more than $1.29 for it - you got a steal!!

Check this one out -- I ordered this and it came this weekend -- it's amazing -- I did a 4ft piece -- it's huge --
I"m so excited to not have to piece together for borders --
they have a couple different size on the site -- i like the handle on this, very similar to a caulk gun --
Once you get hooked on a clay gun, you won't give it up -- i use for boarders -- single, twisted for a rope look, braided -- I like to spell out the names for Bday cakes.
I normally warm mine in the micorwave slightly so it will move freer .
I ordered the extra disks -- it has on that is 3/4 inch wide -- you can also use the smaller disks by using the 2nd larges circle one over the smaller on
I was so glad that someone posted this link on another site... The other thing i noticed with this one, is you don't get the "squeeze" marks -- I noticed on the smaller ones, if I have to do much lenght, that when I stop to press, theres an indention -- not had this problem --
I think you will have to pry out of my hands when I die --

i love that one! doesn't have all the discs i need though.. .did you say there was a way to use the small ones i have?
I have the same extruder as alaskanmom. Picked it up using the 40% off coupon and only paid $15 for it. I saw the the plastic one, but I was afraid to break it!
I use it to make hair for my characters right now, but I am always trying to think of different ways to use it.
The one that alaskanmom has: how long of a piece can you make with it?
I use all the small disk from my red one by putting it on the fondant and then laying the large disk with the bigger hole on top -- works great...
I also use my wilton disks with it.
ok, i need the bigger one. the one i have you can only make about an 8 inch rope
