A blowgun is a primitive weapon that uses the power of your breath to shoot a dart at a target. You can make a mini blowgun from a few supplies commonly found around the home. No special skills are needed, nor must you have any expertise in how a blowgun works. Your mini blowgun can be used to fire small projectiles other than darts; for example, you can use BBs or plastic pellet balls.
