I know very few people use blowguns, and me being 13, I don't have a very big lung compacity. I accualy only had pistols and felt the need for a main weapon so I took the orange front barrel of my nightfinder and duct taped it onto some pvc about 2 ft. long, and wider than a dart. It ended up kicking butt (besides the fact I was very low on overall ammo, only 6 darts) it was pretty sweet to nail someone with it. I found I could also load quite a few shots into it and it had a nice "shotgun effect." I was just asking for comments and wondering if blowguns accually go under homemades. I would have added pictures but I don't have a digital camera.

Well, blowguns are better off not being on the forums. Pretty much all they are is barrel crafting material used as a 'blowgun'. I guess if you made a complicated progressive blowgun with a handle and sights then, yes, it would be suited for the Homemad section of NH.

Really, your best bet is to get some 1/2 inch copper, 1/2inch PVC, and 1/2 inch CPVC, and play around with it. Use ruglar stefans with it. Make the mouthpeice out of CPVC and jsut long enough to get the dart in, and out by blowing. The copper acts as an 'external barrel'. And the PVC makes it all sturdy and pretty like. I happen to have some and have been meaning to make a blowgun. But for jsut messing around, 2 feet of PVC and some stock darts is great. I could get 60 feet indoors easily. Maybe even use it at shorter range for better accuracy. Have fun!
