Step 1What you need

what you need

- a piece of pipe about 4 to 7 feet long and about 1cm in diameter, you can use curtian rod, thats what i used and it works great.

- MOUTHPIECE, for my mouthpiece i used some random stuff i had lying around (plastic pipe stuff) but what works just the same is soda bottle necks just cut them off where you think suits you.

- sand paper to smooth the cut out mouthpiece (bottleneck)

- good super glue (to glue the mouth piece and other stuff in the future)

- paint or camo cloth (optional, only use if u want camo)

DARTS

- paper

- sticky tape or super glue

- bbq skewer or nails for the darts

- a FILE to sharpen the nails (optional)

Hey i just wanted to know your input to the question that Higgs Boson, myself, and another one of our friends are all asking. What can be done to make the blowguns better at this point? Yours and ours are practically identical, except for the darts. Even with the best darts we can make, they still only ever shoot accurately at a max 35 feet. What do you think?

       not fast but powerful
Feb 12, 2010. 11:39 AMsumme says:
how do u make those??
Jan 24, 2009. 1:17 PM15zhangfra says:
you can just make the skewerdart with out the sharp tip-slit the front and add a cheap exacto blade
Aug 1, 2009. 4:42 AMKryptonite says:
Skewer darts are fun, but it's nothing, I repeat nothing, compared to a blow pipe.
Aug 2, 2009. 8:31 AM15zhangfra says:
i meant a skewer blowdart, but with a broadhead

you said the barbecue skewers were to light, so head it with an exacto blade and you got a hunting full blown dart
Aug 17, 2009. 11:27 PMKryptonite says:
Oh wow, I have to try that, sorry for the comment above, I was kind of angsty that night.
Aug 18, 2009. 8:14 AM15zhangfra says:
no problem
Feb 22, 2007. 9:50 PMPackRat4448 says:
for the darts u could use golf tees
Aug 1, 2009. 4:52 AMKryptonite says:
Too skinny, too light and not long enough. Good thought process though.
Oct 19, 2006. 10:15 AMLord_Vader says:
This is well done. but... Please for anyone who reads this-no mor blow gun ideas, I think if you totaled blow guns and ninja stars we would find they make over half the instructables on this site.
Aug 1, 2009. 4:48 AMKryptonite says:
You can't go wrong with a blow gun, but every one's got a different variant on the dart.
Jun 3, 2007. 10:39 PMmaster-of-chaos says:
trust me you would have to add in the knex guns
Oct 19, 2006. 3:31 PMBad Donut says:
I agree. There's so many of those projects that you could make a group on em.

Feb 14, 2008. 2:35 PMdhruvgaara says:
do you like invader zim? i do i also like chicken guess who made some waffles? and tacos!!!!
Aug 1, 2009. 4:51 AMKryptonite says:
With an attitude like that in the comment thread, don't blame me if you end up with a blow dart through your rump because some one thought you were a person with rabies. PS. Burritos eat tacos! And the chicken made the waffles! And Invader Zim was the prettiest girl at the harvest moon ball!
Dec 13, 2007. 10:02 PMtimmy_8911 says:
how thick is the pipe that you used
Aug 1, 2009. 4:47 AMKryptonite says:
As for him I don't know, but if you're asking because you'd like to do the same, either 1/2" or 5/8", or 12mm to 15mm inner diameter. Choose either copper or aluminum, and for a fully grown man, either 6' or 7' is an ideal length for hunting.

I SHOT A mag pie atackin a sparrow. i saved the sparows life but the mag pie......not so much thanks
Aug 1, 2009. 4:41 AMKryptonite says:
I would have hit the sparrow, the magpie is an Australian native and if you're in Australia that's a federal law broken. Oh well. Good shot though!
Jul 31, 2008. 11:14 AMjuneapaluna says:
I just made a smaller one of thise and it is awesome except I just used camo duct tape on mine.

here is a great way to make cheap great working darts http://tomshiro.org/pdart/primer.html but it will take practice. xD
Jul 4, 2008. 1:28 AMAnarchistAsian says:
well, that's kind of lame 70 mph isn't very fast, i recommend thin metal stakes from a hardwar store wrapped in duct tape

whens the laser light thing and ammo pouch coming
Oct 19, 2006. 7:23 PMlennyb says:
variety is the spice of life my friends i read every post like this just in case someone comes up with better ideas{this one has two good ideas ,using camo cloth and coke bottle for mouthpiece} ive seen six bike trailers on theese pages too but every one was a little different. keep em coming
Aug 15, 2007. 9:28 PMtravisrichardson1980 says:
i agree with both sides to some extent, but mostly with lennyb. yes, there are a lot of blowgun instructables, and yes, they should definitely have thier own section - but every one of them has a slightly different innovation or solution to problems. if it weren't for people who take the time to post, no matter how repetitive, we'd have nothing at at. kudos to them, and keep them coming! lots of great ideas out there!
Oct 23, 2006. 4:27 PMkool_aid465002 says:
hey if you get a needle with the balls on the end and shove one through the eraser of a pencil and spin some yarn around it that works well
