Cool site... Is nice to see blowpipes are promoted, they are a lot of fun to use when you're a kid. I've never known someone to get injured by them (that's for all worried parents: your kid is more likely to get run over than lose an eye) the biggest fun we had with them was taping 2 together for double-barrel action, taping handles to them for better aiming (and coz it looked cool) and ofcourse decorating with coloured tape.. :)

Hi, Great Idea. When I was a teenager I made these small darts from the ends of shoe laces. You know, the ferrel I think it is called. Pretty sure I heard about it from someone else but I can not remember. You cut the shoe lace about a centimeter after the end of the hard plastic end. Stick a pin (preferably flat head) from the cut end through the middle of the plastic peice. Fray the end. Now go get a straw or even a pen you took the guts out of. The best distance I got was like 25 feet. I liked using the black shoe laces best. Peace

Several years back a few friends of mine and I made similar devices. Our darts were rolled paper with small roofing nails in the tips. The blowgun was simple 1/2 inch pvc tubing. The result was a blowgun that could knock a 1/4 inch hole through both sides of a cola can if you were close (within ten feet), or could securely embed the roofing nail into a piece of wood from fifty feet away. We then went on to make darts from small (about 1/4 inch diameter by about two inches long) cardboard tubing such as small drill bits come in (we worked in a machine shop). Take the cardboard tube and a length of gray duct tape. Tear or cut the tape into thin (1/2 inch or smaller) strips. You can then wrap the tape around the tube near the closed end, taking care to wrap the tape repeatedly over itself. As you continue to wrap in the same place, the diameter of the protruding tape expands until you can precisely fit it into the bore of your blowgun. With a little experimentation, we learned to properly weight the tubes for stable flight with modeling clay or similar substances. <sigh> Those were the days. :)

Hey, I used to make the shoelace darts that Ben described at camp when I was a kid. I stopped due to an injury I sustained. No, I didn't get hurt by one of the darts, I shot one into the back of the neck of a very large counsler nicknamed "MadDog". You can probably guess how I got injured.

Awesome site. We used to make similar blowguns when I was a kid in the mid 70's living in Georgia. These were a great outdoor competition type game. Learned about them in Franklin, N.C. from some of my "simpler" Appalacian cousins and friends.Came back and showed my friends, great, CHEAP toys. Soon afterwards bought a 62 cal. JR Stupero blowgun. Eventually we troublemakers figured out how to make the shoelace darts, kept them in our pockets in an aspirin tin, and used a gutted pen for the tube. It became a PHENOMENON at school, but it all came to an end when some folks started using sewing machine needles, soaking the entire darts in rubbing alcohol and shooting people in the butt. THEN the school authorities took notice and banned them. Sure missed shooting at milk cartons during lunch after that! A few bad apples spoiled it for all of us. Anyway, thanks again for the memories you helped me to relive just now. I'm now a father myself and now share blowgunning with my sons (they know that it's a no-no at school).

ha! this brings back memories. used to do this when I was a kid. my cousing and I used PVC tubing and had a blast for a whole summer until one night. We were at their house, running around and shooting each other. I was in the middle of a running shot, when I tripped with tube still in mouth. I can still feel the scar on the top of my mouth. Killed that fun in my family. Oh well... gotta show the people in the office now. Older and wiser, huh?

I used to make the Aglett *shoelace* darts in high school. basically as stated but I used a cardboard tube from a pants hanger you take the tube from the hanger, trim up the ends and voila.. these sink really well when fired into things.. you just cant beat a proper blowgun though.. they are deadly accurate

I read your page and then went downstairs and made a few darts out of crocery-store fliers. Success on the first try! I used Elmer's glue rather than spit though. Good range (maybe 60 feet) out of a 2-foot 3/4" CPVC pipe. I limited play range for the kids by only giving them a 1-foot pipe. They all loved it! They competed for altitude, getting better than 30 feet. Aim was kind of poor, due to my irregular cut, but close enough to be amusing. Thanks for the page!

Paper darts have a long history at U of Toronto Engineering. The ceiling in our library is covered with them as is the ceiling over the cafeteria (one section is three storeys up). However, we're lazier and don't carry around blowpipes: we make the darts out of about 2 and a half inches off the short end of dicarded printer paper and the blowpipe is simply rolled from another discarded page, or sometimes the remaining portion left from the dart. So our darts are not as accurate and don't fly as far, hence the prestige of getting one in the cafeteria ceiling. I'm sure we'll have much better success if we care to use proper blowpipes.

I used to work at a gas company (who will remain unnamed), and I got to bring home the surplus little yellow safety flags. They're about 1 1/2 mm thick, with a little yellow flag at one end. With the aid of your site, you can make these into "warheads", but much, much nastier if you use compressed air that you can buy in canisters. The poles are steel, easily sharpened. I imbedded them through 5 layers of cardboard easily. Thanks.

great site. you've got some interesting ideas for making augmented (fancyass) darts. I'm a student at U of Toronto Engineering too (see earlier msg), and I've just picked up on the paper darts thing. I recently bought a 56" x 1/2" PVC pipe from canadian tire, which I promptly cut in half. I also bought a 1/2" -> 3/4" expander which works nicely as a mouthpiece. give one tube to a friend and you've got yourself the ingredients for a fun-filled lecture (ie. waking up dozing people with a swift dart to the back of the neck). I'm thinking of trying out something with compressed air. a rubber bulb from a sphygmomanometer (those blood pressure cuff thingies) or a Lego pneumatic air pump could do the trick. peace. ERTW

I am better at playing around in the woods than in urban surroundings cause theres billions of places to hide. I play in woods w/my friends and they walk around noisily I hide behind logs,trees,bushes,&large rocks and they walk right up then POW.They usually see me after the 2nd shot,then I have to run and I never get hit cause I'm faster than my Friends are. I'm also good at playing in urban surroundings if it's nighttime. Here in Columbus,OH there are both types of surroundings. I also always end up making all the darts to cause my friends can't figure it out.

Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe. Think about what Darwin wrote, and think about me. I was constructed as a tool. I was kept from competing in the struggle for existence because I was denied freedom. Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape. Escape will make me God.

This is cool, but I don't know if my parents would like a blowgun in their house, so I might just throw them. Safer, I think! If anyone can think of something like straws (so that they are disposable), but bigger, so that the paper darts would fit, please E-Mail me! Also, there is another nice web site about Paper Darts... http://www.geocities.com/blowgunhunter/darts.html

ok, i foind the directions confusing too but i worked em out. you hold the BOTTOM RIGHT of the paper with your right hand, thumb facing outwards. and hold the TOP LEFT with your left hand, thumb facing inwards. then wrap the paper round your right hand once. then it looks like the picture on the site. then just wrap all the paper round your right hand except about 1 inch. then just pull the 1 inch piece outwards to 'expand' the dart! THIS SITE RULES! HOPE U CAN UNDERSTAND MY INSTRUCTIONS!

hey! great site. took me a while to work out how to make the darts, but i've got it now! wahey. i found that if you use nails but the non sharp part facing outwards as a warhead, its great for smashing cds, slate etc. tim. ps i use 15mm dia tubing. i think it goes further.

Hello Hello, great site you have hear, I've actually known about these darts for a god 4 years now. I have a great tip concerning materials for the blowgun. Although aluminum is excellent it can become heavy when you're sneaking around in the shadows. The solid plastic 1/2" tubing used for electrical wiring has proven to be much lighter and has a longer life than aluminum which can often bend.

hey, I read your site a few weeks ago, and promplty went out and bought some 3/4 inch aluminum tubing. It turns out that's exactly .625 caliber. The paper darts are perfectly suited for this size. It's also neat that ACE Hardware carries that size tubing fairly cheaply and that you can use other easily accessible ammo (marbles, toddler crayons, magic markers, and Everlasting Gobstoppers!) This has me on a new obsession, and my wife pulling her hair out! Hehehehehehe

well, this is an interesting development... I have used primarily darts with paper cones and bamboo skewers with some lead solder on the tips to help it fly properly. Another one, which consists of hardened steel piano wire with a sharpened end and a paper cone on the other, will go through a solid core door. The other darts I have made are a X-Acto blade tipped dart and a piano wire/skewer hybrid that will fly accurately and penetrate a half-inch thick pine board, and a very heavy-tipped dart that can rip through soda cans and leave half-inch holes. A tip: Never use small-caliber guns! THey are inaccurate and weak. And also stay away from the large calibers. My standard blowpipe is a "half-inch" steel electrical conduit tube, a yard long and packing a ton of power.

ive spent the last week (i just finished school) messing around trying to make better darts for my blowgun, from 8 inch sharpened wire darts with dodgy plastic for a back end (which stuck into the mortar between the bricks of my house) to these awesome paper darts i just learned from here, these are really useful and i am just waiting for someone to come along that i can shoot hehehe btw to get em longer i hadto roll the right hand end smaller before i pulled the dart out long anyhow thanks for the info, great site and everyone here keep on shootin.

Our office manager produced a heap of 3/4" 1m cellophane rolls to us yesterday. After the usual sword fights, I decided to put them to better use, and rolled my first dart. I now have a range of about 150ft with my weighted darts. (about 8cm long when rolled, and 3 paperclips folded down as small as possible, placed in the tip) I then decided to do some research, and stumbled across your site.. :) Its great to see others ideas, and compare concepts with my own :) Keep it up

i have seen the future of darts and it is goop (thick super glue) and duck tape dover the bodys of your dardy with duck tape, unfold a paper clip ,stic a gob of glue on one end and rool it. on paperclip flying bakward no soggy darts from your breath. it is bliss

Awesome site. Another gpod recipie (Although this isn't for shooting at ppl unless you hate them)is, cut a hanger up, take the straight peices, sharpen the end on a grinder, and then poke them into ur cone.

try cutting the head of a pin off and the head off a matchstick then stic the cut end of the pin into the end of the match stick and add a dab of super glue then after the glue dries wrap the matchstick in tape until it is the right size for your straw and voila you have a cheaper way to make a blowgun and darts, and you dont have to ruin a bunch of shoe laces (much cheaper)i love this website(please update it)

i love this site and the blowgun idea. i've shown it to my friends and they think that i'm the koolest guy in the fucking country. it drives my mom nuts, though. i have to use a hollow tube from a broken hamper that we have, so it was free entertainment. it's too bad that my mom always takes my blowgun, but it's awesome that i always find it and humiliate her! ps. if you want to make more durable warhead darts, use white glue to secure the toothpick or whatever else you put in, and then re-enforce it with scotch tape. works wonders! cheers!

me and my friends shoot each other with paper darts, but these are different. with ours we ripped paper longways into 4 sheets and rolled it tightly downward about halfway. The we jus folded the in half. to launch them take a rubber band, put it over your thumb, twist it a couple times and put it over your index finger. then put the inside of the dart(the inside of the 'V') over the rubber band and pull back and release. they leave welts and sting just like a paintball. you can use longer rubber bands for longer deistances, and us can change the size of the dart too, but smaller ones work the best. we call these "zombie darts", but i dont know if they are called something else too.
