Blowgun by The Jolly Roger In this article I shall attempt to explain the use and manufacture of a powerfull blow-gun and making darts for the gun.The possesion of the blow gun described in this article IS a felony. So be carefull where you use it. I don't want to get you all busted. Needed: 1. Several strands of yarn (About 2 inches a-piece) 2. A regular pencil 3. A 2 1/4 inch long needle (hopefully with a beaded head. If not obtainable,wrap tape around end of needle. 4. 2-3 1/4 foot pipe. (PVC or Aluminum) Half a inch in diameter Constructing the dart: 1st- Carefully twist and pull the metal part (Along with eraser) of the pencil till it comes off. 2nd- Take Pin and start putting about 5-7 Strands of yarn on the pin. Then push them up to the top of the pin. But not over the head of the pin (orthe tape). 3rd- Push pin through the hollow part of the head where the pencil was before. 4th- That should for a nice looking dart. (see illustration) ##### >>>>>-----/ # is the yarn > is the head of the pencil - is the pin it-self / is the head of the pin Using the Darts: 1st- Now take the finished dart and insert it in the tube (if it is too small put on more yarn.) 2nd- Aim the tube at a door, wall, sister, ect. 3rd- blow on the end of the pipe. 4th- Sometimes the end of the pipe may be sharp. When this happens I suggest you wrap it with some black electrician tape.It should feel a lot better. -------Jolly Roger
