The blowgun is probably the most deadly of all homemade weapons, and it is fiendishly easy to make. All one needs to make a basic blowgun and darts are: 1 3-4 foot PVC tube (The diameter can be between 7/16" and 3/16"), a straight connecter that matches the diameter of your tube, a sheet of paper, scissors, a wire clipper and a wire coat hanger.
Cut a half dozen 2" pieces off the straight part of the coat hanger, and use a file or a grinder to sharpen one end to a brutal point. This accomplished, cut as many 3" by 3" squares of paper, and roll them into a tight cone, the diameter of which fits the inside of your tube snugly. Take a cone, and stick one of the needles you made into it, point first, from back to front so the point extends about 1.5" out the point of the cone. Use a hot glue gun or other strong glue to fill the very tip of the cone, holding the point straight out the front. Having made a dart, stick the connecter on one end of the tube (this will be your mouthpiece), and insert the dart point first in there. Put the thing to your mouth and insert your toungue right behind the dart, then blow like you are spitting sunflower shells. This thing has awesome power if you do it right.
