We have been cleaning out some here at our place and I found a Blowgun that I forgot about having. I do that a lot, forget things. I bought this Blowgun about 10 years ago while on a little trip to TN. I think I got it at a Karate supply store. Pretty cheap from what I remember, maybe 10 or 15 bucks. I'm sure I would not have paid much more than that at the time. It's really pretty nice, 5ft. long aluminum and it even has a 10 dart quiver and shoulder strap. This is the darts that came with it, (you can buy broad head type darts) they are about the size of a pencil lead. I'm not the kinda guy that has plenty of lung power (I'm smoker trying to quit) but even with this little dart you can easily penetrate a board. I mean to the point that you have to take pliers to get it out. With a little practice I can see where one could hit a target at say 20 - 25 yards very consistently. This is another time test weapon that is still being used today by tribes around the world. Cheap, Stealth ammo delivery. And you can make one yourself, gun and darts. Just another example of a primitive weapon that is available. Your arsenal doesn't have to be full of expensive guns that are both loud and costly to shoot, pretty cool if it is though. hehe!!
Here it is in full length, pretty nice blowgun. Here's a link where you can buy them new for as little as $7.00 and up to, are you ready for this, $30.00. I'm pretty sure anyone can find the cash for this great survival and defense weapon. Hey man, people have been hunting with these things for years so don't blow off the idea of owning a blowgun. Search the net and see what you can find and I'm sure you will be impressed with the price and possibility of these time tested and proven weapons that anyone can buy.
This is Bullseye....OUT !!!

You got me curious Bullseye. Here's a how-to if people want to experiment before buying a commercial piece.
Good out of the box thinking.
This site has a recipe for curare in case you want to make poison darts.
