This is the original air powered weapon-- a blowgun. I've been messing around with big bore blowguns for the last couple of years. Mine is 62 caliber. It was made from a 6' section of plain old 1/2" EMT. It's time to refinish it so I stripped off the old paint.
The object on the right is the mouthpiece and the two items on the left are cleaning cord hangers.
The blowgun is easy but the darts take a little more time. I used some of the leftover pipe to make a cutter for the dart cones. I ground a small bevel on one end and use a twisting motion to cut a perfect bore-sized plug from the pool noodle.
You insert the skewer in the center of the cone. Go in halfway from each side and any error will be in the middle.
You can sharpen the end or make tiny, lethal broadheads for squirrel and rabbit sized game. I've made complete pass throughs on birds robbing my fig tree.
