Yo. Your blowgun, would work for approx. less than 3m due to the short length of the pipe, and yo dont even have a mouth piece??. The mouthpiece can improve the PVC pipe by making more pressure behind the darts only if ur darts dont have space in the back (cone) part. Yarn would be a bad idea, i tell u. Try film paper. Where is your tutorial about PVC pipes? Yo shud know that PVC pipe bend at the centre thus deflecting the target????

I guess that the maker used a fairly skinny pipe due to the width of the dart, but it would not be hard to put another layer of yarn around the outside. And for a general target-and-fun thing, you don't need specific shaped paper cone, and paper crumples. Also, due to the thickness of the pipe, the PVC pipe would not bend much.

if you want, instead of yarn just stick the pin through the middle of a flat cotton round, fold it a bit as it goes in so it's even and BAM, instant cotton cone flight.

i have a pvc blowgun about 2 feet long and it shoots up to ten feet. my five foot blowgun will shoot up to one hundred feet or more ( depending on how much lung capacity you have ) i can get it to go about 70 feet.

use copper tubeing and make a mouthpiece out of epoxy and fiberglass compound

[FunkNattidelic]

sorry, i left this out, And, it doesnt have a mouthpiece.

[casvandegoor]

yeah? you only show the making of the darts?!

[Kryptonite]

Is that a problem?

[casvandegoor]

My appologies. I'd expected this instructable to contain instructions on how to make a blowgun. The instructable was useful.

[the "wow shammy"]

all you need to make a blowgun is a length of 1/2 in pvc a 1/2 in threaded female adapter and a threaded to smooth male adapter. stick the female on the pipe (cut it first) load the dart, then screw the male adapter in and blow. hope this helps ya'!

[Kryptonite]

Fair enough, blowguns are pretty straight forward anyway.

[YouAreAlwaysWrong]

use glue on the darts. makes them waaaay better. very nice instructable btw

[slayerforhope]
