Blowgun

A simple ranged weapon made of a long, narrow pipe or reed for shooting small projectiles, primary darts. The blowgun is operated pneumatically by blowing the projectile through the tube. Blowguns are most effective for small game like birds and squirrels.

Crafting instructions

Use a hollow reed, straight selection of bamboo, or PVC pipe. A length of 4 feet is ideal for accuracy and power. The tube must be straight and smooth for proper airflow. If using bamboo or reed, remove any inner nodes with a long wire or file. A projectile like a dart will be necessary for the projectile. Ensure that the diameter of the pipe fits snug with the projectile of use.
