A WORD ABOUT BLOWGUNS
The Aborigine brand blowguns has a .40 caliber barrel and is made of tempered aircraft grade aluminum alloy tubing solely intended for blowgun use. Darts are of plastic and spring steel. The Safety Mouthpiece is an advanced design and will not allow darts to be accidentally inhaled. The muzzle guard protects the muzzle from dings and dents which could be detrimental to accuracy. The length of the tube affects both accuracy and velocity. Rule of thumb: The longer the tube, the greater the accuracy and velocity.
GUN LENGTH ACCURACY RANGE MAXIMUM RANGE MUZZLE VELOCITY
18 inch 15 feet 50 feet 160 feet/sec
24 inch 28 feet 86 feet 210 feet/sec
30 inch 40 feet 120 feet 245 feet/sec
36 inch 50 feet 150 feet 280 feet/sec
48 inch 67 feet 205 feet 355 feet/sec
These guns and velocities are based on the average experienced blow gunner and will vary from person to person. The shooters skill is the most determining factor where accuracy is concerned.
