I show how to make 3 different types of blowgun and air-gun
darts. They are all made with common house hold materials and are simple to
make. They work with a blowgun or an air-gun and can be made larger or smaller
depending on the diameter of the blowgun tube. I used nails for all of my darts
but a thin metal rod or other materials can be used. This is more to show how
to make the different dart stabilizers that can then be made with more suitable
darts depending on weather a pneumatic dart gun or blow dart gun is used. I
tested them from a homemade air gun shooting them into a frozen wood stump and
they all performed well. If I was using a blowgun I would make them with
smaller thinner nails or thin metal rods so that they are lighter. Be careful
these can be potentially dangerous, use common sense if making/using these.
Blow Dart #1
This dart is made from a piece of cardstock paper that is made on to a cone then glued into the end of a nail. a small plastic tube is added, this piece is not necessary it just makes it look a little better. then the cone and tube are covered in clear tape. this makes the cardstock cone more durable.
Blow Dart #2
Blow Dart #2
This dart is made from a plastic bag. The bag was thick plastic and cut into a few small squares that are pressed in to the nail and glued in place. A small plastic tube is added to the nail. A bright color plastic can be used to make the darts easy to locate.
Blow Dart #3
Blow Dart #3
This dart is made from a plastic milk carton. The milk carton is heated up making it malleable and a skewer can be used to make it into a cone shape. the cone shape is cut out and glued to the nail.
A Blowgun can be used to fire darts, Often, these are quite small, and do little harm by themselves; instead, they are effective due to poison spread onto their points, from (for example) dart frogs or curare. Materiasl:
- Card-stock Paper
- Tape
- Nails/Thin Metal Rod
- Small Plastic Tube
- Glue/Epoxy
- Plastic Bag
- plastic from a milk carton.
