i use the thing that ajusts the shades/blinds so they filter out mor or less light

And a few tips; you can make the cones out of plastic chip bags, they last much longer and are lighter. Although maybe harder to get in a school than paper. -evil grin-

its not that you cant blow hard enough it requires a technique kinda use your tongue as a quick release valve

I can never blow hard enough for the darts to go out of the barrel, either i made them too small or i am breathless. I couldn't manage to get the small blue part out of the pen to make it only the barrel. Any tips on that?

you could use a skewer or shish-kabob thingy to push the back blue part out

Jun 5, 2009. 11:45 AMsharlston says:
i made it so the end of the pen is removeable and i shortened the ink tube so i can fit a dart in the back of the pen but still use the pen

um that is incredibly easy but it sucks if you put lime juice on the end of the needle
May 16, 2009. 2:40 AMsharlston says:

Sep 23, 2008. 6:58 PMgrut125 says:

Jun 5, 2009. 11:43 AMsharlston says:

Nov 7, 2008. 5:19 PMbowmaster says:
Because there is a weak acid in lime juice.

Take a hollow needle and inject lemon juice directly into your veins.

The problem with shooting them at people is that they can take it and throw it back at you.
Jul 20, 2008. 11:25 AMEvilthingamabober says:
You can only throw them about two feet
Dec 31, 2008. 9:40 AMEvilthingamabober says:
Actually, they would just run after you and beat you up.
Feb 8, 2009. 4:18 PMWeston607 says:
Unless you shot one in each of there eyes, and they couldn't see where they where running, and run into a tree! Though this would be very dangerous lol
Apr 14, 2009. 6:10 AMfreerunnin1 says:
a tree inside a class room? where do u live :D lol
Apr 14, 2009. 12:48 PMWeston607 says:

Umm... LAWSUIT!!!
Feb 23, 2009. 1:10 PMpyromaniac2 says:

Feb 23, 2009. 12:58 PMpyromaniac2 says:

Feb 8, 2009. 4:19 PMWeston607 says:
Cool! I like to call this the "Blowpen".
Dec 13, 2008. 2:44 PMcoolboy45 says:

Nov 27, 2008. 1:00 AMTrogdor_The_Burninator says:
i made darts like those and i fit it into an airsoft gun... not its terrifying i shot it at a binder made of solid plastic about 5 mm's thick and it went through also piercing another 5-7mm's of paper in the binder

Jun 15, 2008. 8:24 PMKLUTZYengineer says:
Any tips whatsoever?
Jun 15, 2008. 8:19 PMKLUTZYengineer says:
There needs to be an Instructable for creating the paper cone itself...
Jun 4, 2008. 3:55 PMpindalanderz says:
Great instructable!!! I have found though, that you can make the darts out of spiraled tape and they usually work pretty well. I did have a problem with getting the darts to fly strait but a bit of adjusting usually does the trick. The best part about it is you can shoot it at someone, they can take it and you lose little or no value.
May 13, 2008. 10:45 AMjeffconnelly says:
I put the dart in the tube, pulled out the ink stick from the pen, and put the pen back together again, so it's a stealth blowdart-in-a-pen
