Forget all you have seen before, this is how to make the ULTIMATE blowgun and darts. i will show you everything you need to get started completely from scratch, and unlike other instructables, i'm a little more specific than 'a curtain rod' . I will show you how to make: the blowgun, hunting darts, target darts stun/non lethal darts, and the most efficient way of making the paper cones that last for a long time, and, most importantly, i'll show you the amazing, never miss technique for aiming a blowgun.
WARNING this blowgun is not a toy, it could seriously injure animals or humans, blowguns are surprisingly powerful when used properly, use with extreme caution,. i take no responsibility for your actions if you do decide to use blowguns inappropriately or decide to use them for illegal activities. this is a weapon. never use it against another person. i am posting this for informational purposes only.
if you like it, or even hate it, please let me know in the comments!!
i personally have been blow-gunning for 3 years. and can hit a pop can with a good hunting dart from over 100 feet.
this is my first instructable, go easy on me : )

the first thing you will want to do is get everything you need for the blowgun and darts.
blowgun:
1/2 copper tubing, available at almost every hardware store on the face of the planet, a good length is about 4-5 feet, the longer, the greater the velocity, distance, accuracy and power.
you can browse the fittings section for a simple mouthpiece, anything 1/2 inch copper or cpvc will fit perfectly. I personally don't need a mouthpiece, but some people prefer one for comfort.
darts:
1 or 2 sheets of all purpose paper, get a box of 500 from staples for less than 5 bucks.
small wood screws, some long for hunting tips, some much shorter for the stun darts
box of pins with balls on the end, ( like this 0-------------- ) get 100 from dollarama for a buck
coat hangers, also from dollarama, one or two should do.(one gives you about 10-12 darts depending on length)
super glue, it sticks to stuff, hard.
glue stick, it's glue, in a stick
tools:
hacksaw
hammer
grinding stone
dremel with grinding head
scissors
compass
pencil
sharpie
anvil
pipe cutter (at store)
