Step 1: What 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)
Step 2: Mouthpiece
now get the pipe/ hollow rod and the bottle neck and glue it to one end of the pipe NOTE: this will be the shooting end.
Step 3: STRAP AND CAMO JOB
first do the camo job then the strap because then you will not have to paint over the strap or cover over the strap
find a elastic strap at least 50cm long (i used the elastic out of a pair of old camo pants)once cut out then simply glue it in the middle of the blowgun
see pic
once that is done you can give it the camo job COOOOOOL
u can either use camo cloth or paint, paint is good but with cloth it takes away the metal rod look and i used cloth, if you chose cloth just simply cut out sections glue it, and for the paint well paint what you think will make it blend in to your surroundings.
Step 4: DARTS
now to make darts you need the materials on step1 under darts
Both darts are great preformers although they have their goods and bads
BBQ SKEWER
GOOD
- it is light
- easy to get
- floats
greatfor fishing
BAD
snaps easy
floats around
in the wind
NAIL DART
GOOD
- high impact(hard metal)hitting)
- dosent snap
- easy to sharpen
- dosent float around
- has a overall further distance
than skewer
- high accuracy
BAD
dosent float
falls faster than
skewer
HOW TO MAKE
Cut out a square about 5 by 7 cm
cut of a bit of one corner, then roll into a cone from that corner, once in a cone tape it enough but not to much so it stays in a cone shape, then put it in the barrel point first so you know where to cut the paper off so it will fit in the blowgun, make it so it dosent fall out once in but so it is easy to shoot out.
now slide the nail or skewer through the paper cone ( through the small end, move the cone right to the end then tape it or glue it on.

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?

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

Too skinny, too light and not long enough. Good thought process though.
