How to make a Blowgun

In this article we will attemt to explain the use and manufacture of a powerful blow-gun and making darts for the gun.
The possestion of the blow gun described in this article IS a felony. So be carefull where you use it. I dont want to get you all busted.
Needed:
1. Several strands of yarn (About 2 inches a piece)2. A regular pencil3. 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 (or the 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)

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.
