Blowgun                                         by The Jolly Roger 

In this article I shall attempt to explain the use and manufacture 
of a powerfull blow-gun and making darts for the gun.The possesion of 
the blow gun described in this article IS a felony. 
So be carefull where you use it. I don't want to get you all busted. 

Needed: 

1. Several strands of yarn (About 2 inches a-piece) 
2. A regular pencil 
3. A 2 1/4 inch long needle (hopefully with a beaded head. If not 
   obtainable,wrap tape around end of needle. 
4. 2-3 1/4 foot pipe. (PVC or Aluminum) Half a inch in diameter 

Constructing the dart: 

1st- Carefully twist and pull the metal part (Along with eraser) 
of the pencil till it comes off. 
2nd- Take Pin and start putting about 5-7 Strands of yarn on the pin. Then 
push them up to the top of the pin. But not over the head of the pin (orthe tape). 
3rd- Push pin through the hollow part of the head where the pencil was before. 
4th- That should for a nice looking dart. (see illustration)

               -  is the pin it-self 
               /  is the head of the pin 

Using the Darts: 
   
1st- Now take the finished dart and insert it in the tube 
(if it is too small put on more yarn.) 
2nd- Aim the tube at a door, wall, sister, ect. 
3rd- blow on the end of the pipe. 
4th- Sometimes the end of the pipe may be sharp. When this happens I 
suggest you wrap it with some black electrician tape.It should feel 
a lot better.
