Naturally blowguns are illegal in Canada. Our government bans everything that is wholesome and fun.
It's sad but true.
How you gonna ban a literal tube lol, do they not know you can make them with like PVC and nails
What are the gun laws like in Canada?
Liberalism for ya
Banning a pvc pipe is downright absurd. Might as well ban the hardware shops, my blowguns come from there...
When I was a kid my friends and I took the adjustment pipe from my dad's weight bench and started using it as a blow gun. We used a Dremel to shape wooden bullets from a stick, that was a fun Sunday afternoon. Much to our surprise it could easily break skin, it was perhaps by God's grace that nobody lost an eye.
Dad was a "plumber" I had every type of Pipe available in the 70's! we made our First muzzle loading mortar with firecrackers, 1/2 copper, steel pachinko balls(big in 70's) with a two man fire team ammo lighter and charge and ball dropper mortar aimer? This was after we discovered Calcium Carbide and water, or hair spray, Or Starting fluid, carb cleaner, and on, and Cambel soup cans? thee or four no ends taped into tube, one on bottom with One end and old fashioned beer can openings(was still in use no pull tabs yet) on closed end for vent, very bottom can one end removed sm touch hole taped to vented can on tube.
Drop a tennis ball down soup can tube to vented stopper, less is more for fuel in firing chamber/can grab mom's Free book of Matches that came with Every Pack IGNITION!
get the fuel air right WOW GONE! over 6 lanes with medium and frontage roads never to see again. we are all still here "Thank You LORD!" just had lunch with one.
Most of our young life's everyone had Something to do With SPACE or aviation. Learned to ride minibikes in Rockwell Downey Parking lots with security kind of chasing us? then cars, stick and on.
I still enjoy DIY adult toys!

Are you hyperventilating?
I'm 75 and live alone on a ranch in North Texas way out in the country and use a 30-inch blowgun for home defense.
I put my tongue into the hole and use it as a valve to release a rush of air as I hold my breath while pushing out HARD
I am VERY accurate up to about 80 feet.
I should tell you this though. My accuracy is trumped by the fact that my dart tips (as well as my crosbow bolts) are dipped into 12M sodium hydroxide (lye) and left to dry, then dipped in melted bee's wax (to prevent accidentally rubbing NaOH onto the mouthpiece) before use.
An intruder hit ANYWHERE will be ON FIRE for a good 5 hours, more, if water is used on the entry wound!
I really want to believe this is satire in some way.
@@roosterqmoney nope
The blowgun is not my first choice for defense, hornet darts notwithstanding. I have made a few from 6d finishing nails, with wax-coated lye on the first half inch of the dart, and a pony bead around the shaft to keep the wax from rubbing the inside of the barrel. When the penetration hits the bead, it knocks it loose and the wax kind of shatters. I haven't made one in years. Shot a Doberman that was attacking my goats in the butt with one, and as far as I know that dog is still running. That said one of my Exacto knife blade broadhead darts in the face might not kill an intruder, but it would certainly give him an entirely different project to work on besides intruding. I have seen everything from nicotine sulphate cotton balls to snake venom laced toothpaste put on a blowgun dart, but as a rule I don't dope mine. I rely on good old fashioned cutting edges.
Back in the 80"s my buddy and I used to hunt with blowguns, rabbits, squirrel, and even a duck ! We purchased many before we found a "real" one, .38 caliber, it came with 24" rods of spring steal and actual "hippie beads" and hard plastic broadhead tips. You also had to assemble darts, but it was quick and easy to knock out a dozen and they worked FANTASTIC ! Dropped running jacks in their tracks. These are NOT TOYS
I bought several sections of pvc 1/2 inch to experiment with along with a 5 foot copper pipe. Made some homemade darts with nails an duct tape cones described on Backyard bowyers channel. It will punch holes in a steel peanut can. I cut a flip flop up to make mouth piece and dart holder. Works great.
I find the simplest way to teach people the best performance of the blow gun is, is to say tu or two. I'd almost disagree that it is from the diaphragm. Yes, there is an inhale and an exhale, but the "tu" comes from the same place that blowing a duck call or turkey diaphragm call comes from. It is not a large volume of air. It is a condensed version like a pellet gun does.
This guy gets it!
I always tell them to give their best impression of Tom Jones... fewer people understand it these days though
It comes from your diafragm even though it might feel like it, or even sound like it.
That is the way I shoot too. Puffed out cheeks like Dizzy Gillespi. If you try to do it all from the diaphragm, you can't keep your head still, so you can't hit the broad side of a barn. Got my first blowgun when I was about six. Had an uncle who made them from river cane and made thistle tufted darts. I never bought one of these commercial ones though. I make mine now out of 3/4-16 aluminum mill tube.
I bought a bunch of these when they went on sale once for $28. Then I bought a ton of darts. They make great gifts and I've actually successfully hunted small game with them.
The power isn't just from the diaphragm, it also comes from your cheeks, hence the name blow gun. The harder you can blow the more power you get, especially with heavier darts. I've been using blow guns to hunt with since I was a little kid and when Cold Steel first released their blow gun to the market, it is the only blow gun I use.
Thank you, just bought a Cold Steel Blowgun. Would you be able to elaborate a little on the blowing technique please?
@@daletan6177
First breath in using diaphragm, you'll look like you're pregnant, then block the air by placing your tongue on the palate on top of your mouth.
Then when you release you want at least 100 millibar of pressure so before releasing your tongue you'll go full muscle contraction of your lungs, increasing air pressure.
Then you release making a "Tuh!!" sound, the air pressure will make your cheeks swell
Always a great way to start the day by a Kramer or Shatterproof video
My dad used to start blowgun fights in the house with us kids. No, not darts! Balls of water based clay. It stung a little, but Mom was cool with it because it didn't leave any marks on the walls. Which was good, because for weeks after we'd find little bits of clay in odd corners we missed during the after-action cleanup. We should probably have been wearing safety glasses, but it was the 70's, so no.
I’d love to see you try out a nice shepherds sling for your next trash or treasure! My dad is a big D&D nerd and most of our non fighters ended up using slings so I bought him one as a gift once. Of course I ended up playing with it for a while too and it was a blast to use. Definitely have to google some good techniques though.
The guy that shot the bear with one is called the Slock master
Tim wells with relentless pursuit. He's the Number one Slock master
@@aTamar808 couldn't believe there weren't more people singing his praises. What a hunter. Legend
In the 80s they sold one in the back of Field & Stream or Guns & Ammo with a picture of a guy holding an armadillo. I think they were $12 mail order. It came with a long wire and plastic beads. You cut a length of wire, heated it up and pushed it into the bead. We could kill squirrels with them.
If you still read comments on this video, I used to shoot plastic thumbtacks out of mine for target practice when I was a kid lol
"It pretty much goes straight down the barrel." You actually said that out loud and then left it in the video.
In 1971 I used 6 feet of emt for the gun and made darts by wrapping thin, clear plastic in a cone shape around the heads of nails. I set a broom up against a fence, stepped back 20 feet, and to my surprise my first shot stuck dead center of the broom handle. My office had a lot of fun that day.
Bamboo skewers make good practice darts...trimmed to your liking. They are light & fast but still carry enough inertia to punch through a small game.
Pvc makes the best mini marshmallow shooter's. Try it.
Treasure for sure!! I’ve killed ruffed grouse, snowshoe hare, grey and red squirrels, skunks, raccoons,rats and even porcupines with this blowgun. The rabbits usually run a couple yards then stop and die. I usually take fine grit sandpaper to sharpen the tips more. Worth it for sure
I have five blowguns a 4 foot three 5 foots and a carbon fiber six foot. I shoot daley and wander how fast I shoot. Tons of fun shooting and making darts.
I have the tim wells cobra pattern version. I figured out its best to charge up air in your cheeks then use your tongue to stop it like a valve. When you wanna shoot just pull your tounge back and it lets everything go with little movement. Using just your lungs jolts it everytime for me at least. Its also a way to get way more power out of it cause its compressing way more air in your cheeks and lungs. Only downside is it hurts your cheeks after a while.
hi, friends, I have several versions of the big bore, started with the 40 cal, I use the tongue stop method, both eyes open, but center the end of the blow gun just below eyes in a triangle,
I have one of these and I love it! I find I'm accurate out to about 15 yd 20 if I push it. and it's great for hunting small game and even some larger game if you're deadly accurate with it! It will kill deer bear coyotes and large animals too.
I don’t know how to word without sounding weird. But When I shoot, I insert the whole tube in my mouth. That way no air escapes and I get maximum lung usage.
I just got one of these and at first hated it but with practice it really is bad ass lethal 💯
It does not have an "Infinite screwing capability"... that just means you didn't finish tightening it xD I have one of these, it ABSOLUTELY should not rotate when correctly assembled lolol
My brother and i when we were younger would have blowgun wars. They sell blunt plastic that fits into the gun, and they leave some nasty welts.
Cool. I am no expert, but that way you can fight this arrow wobbling, archer paradox they call it i think. Thanx for sharing.
I got one to take out a mouse in my house. My 80lb dog saw me take the shot and crashed into the planter shelf knocked everything over to get at the mouse pinned to the wall.
We Have "Had Us" some fun over the years with Blow guns, then came spuds with chemically propelled launching systems and on to riffled PVC launching systems. still have blow darts 22' up in the beams of my shop, hanging in for over 15 yrs. then we designed our own progos?
Maybe? a water balloon landed about 340 yards from our AMA race teams pit while enjoying a camp fire with adult beverages? on the hood of a BLM internal combustion driven transporter in the late 80's? while our local AMA Dist 37 team Master Links was supporting International Guest Racers who may have owned ADB( down under dirt bike magazine) with EVERYTHING but cloths free, I love it Men play like Kids!!
I imagine you have checked out Tim Wells videos on this product. He has the black bear with one as well as many other game animals.
Please do more blowfun stuff? Very cool to see u testing and 1st reactions!
Real rocket science right here.
I've owned and hunted with blowguns from a kid to a adult and I'll say they are a absolute must have, I've taken alot game with these things from birds to rabbits raccoons and more, and hands down wil gaurantee a well placed shot with the broadheads WILL take down large game from boar,deer and bear , shot placement and lung power is the key...practice practice practice and also if SHTF and you.need to hunt you can in silence and if you need to protect yourselves "You can in silence" ;)
Cool stuff! 😀
When I was a kid in the 50s, “peashooters” were very common. Little more than a plastic straw from which you literally shot dried peas….. Great fun.
Naturally, only a quick step to an actual blowgun… Any sort of tubing will do… I used to make darts from wooden matchsticks into which you’d stick a needle using a pair of pliers. A bit of any kind of fluff tied around the other end to fill up the bore.
Later on, a piece of PVC tubing and highly-efficient darts made of steel wire with bore-sealing paper cones that were an exact fit…..
I've made homemade 'blow guns' from PVC pipe, paper and nails, and it's super fun! I asked a few friends to try it, and some couldn't figure out how to blow the air. I have allergies, so sneeze a lot and i'm sure that it's an advantage. Hahha (Imagine trying to blow away a bee that hovering in front your face: it's a quick, powerful, medium volume, breath)
I made those too and took out rats in family barn as a twen. I threw the dart after a kill it was disposable.
Take some superglue and some cotton. You can fix the holes. I've never had to discard a dart cup because of a butt strike.
“I heard a guy killed a bear with one” 😂😂😂😂😂
Tim Wells did..and..its on video
Hes not lying ong I was there I seen it with my bare eyes
so before I even start watching. I've messed around with blow guns since I was a teen . ( no need to admit how long ago that was). Pipes make from old water line to wire nuts from lengths of conduit. And let's not forget pins tin foil and old pens. Blow guns can actually be a bit scary.
I have one and it works better if you blow the dart thru instead of pushing it in the mouth guard
Awesome video! I’ve used blowguns for a while, and I’ve taken quite a few small game animals. Look up Tim Wells on TH-cam. He’s killed a bear, mule deer, hogs, and even monkeys in Africa with his.
Tim wells is who killed a bear with that blow gun. He also goes dove hunting with a bow. It's insane.
I would LOVE it if Cold Steel made an Atlatl..
You can repair the skirts Kramer. Super glue does awesome stuff.
They’re like a dollar for a pack of 100 bro.
You need to check out the slock master he takes big game with that blow gun all the time
I'm thinking about buing one. Does the cold steel one rust much?
You have entirely too much fun my friend
Awesome video,not many on real blowguns.
I started making bows after subscribing a couple weeks ago 🥰 so far I've built a 80 pound pyramid bow (28 inch draw) and I built a little 33 pound bamboo recurve thing to teach my little sister and brother to shoot.. next im teaching them how to make their own bows and im making a compound bow.
You sir have kickstarted a whole new obsession, I also filmed the bow build in case anyone wanted to offer criticisms 😅 unfortunately I dont know how to judge if my bow is great quality or crap right now, they feel great and seem to have power and speed buuuuut the chances are very low that I got it right o the first and second try 😅
Where do you get the wood?
@@randomstuff9095 ive been getting my wood from a store in australia called bunnings 😅 right now im playing around with 'premium bamboo garden stakes'
These are a stack of 4 bamboo cores that are glued together in the factory... they are 1500mm in length and 25mm x 25mm (width, height)
So far loving this material, it also only costs $16 aud for 4 of the bamboo stakes which is a pretty okay price, especially whilst im starting out
I'm also using fiberglass tape, cloth and epoxy paint 😁
@@frissonsknives Don't worry too much about the "quality" of the bow right now. Have you seen some of the bows made out of PVC pipe? And I think you'll agree that primitive people were all about the results and looks were a secondary consideration, if at all. So just play around with ugly bows for a while. I'm sure they''ll start getting better looking before you even realize it.
@@frissonsknivesYou might even have native timbers in Aus you could use for bows. I know we do here in NZ for bow making.
@@AstrixCloud what material is your favourite to work with?
Try a Tim Wells Slockmaster blowgun
Have a friend stand behind a wall and toss targets into the firing line. Lots of fun once you get boringly accurate at stationary targets.
3:07 i cant believe you did him dirty like this
the cups are repairable if the damage is not too extensive.
Use cold steel darts out of a paintball gun… right through 3/4 inch plywood 👍
Cold Steel discontinued their blowgun line, but you can still find them.
8:45 cue Kramer rocky-style training montage
Ini Kalimantan, it is called Sumpit. The Dayaknese Traditional Weapon
Lungs technically "compressed air"
6:40 He definitely shot a compound bow.
Nice blowgun❤❤❤
Tim Wells is the Shlockmaster. He shot/killed the bear and this is his company. Pay homage to the MAN
What about sling bow?
Damn it Kramer you’re gonna make me get a blow gun. Ugh thanks lol 😂
It is not about the size. It is about the technique!
These are illegal in Canada for some reason. Must be the roving bands of ninjas.
I got 2 of them from cold steel and they make a hole bunch of different darts go to Tim Wills .
Slock master tim wills
Tim Wells! Come on guys!😡😠
That blowgun cannot be shipped to california for some reason, what a sad strange state sometimes.
Tim Wells hunts with these and advertises them on his videos I have one I’ve seen him blow one right through a pig at a downward angle and it came out at the bottom of the chest Freaking awesome
When i use a blowgun, i cough in it. It seems to provide the faster darts.
Bro isn’t wrong. A dude did actually kill a bear with one of those
Maybe you've been told by now I don't know but you should NEVER take the inhalation with your mouth close to the mouthpiece without covering the hole with your thumb. The first time you inhale a dart you'll know why.
It’s not infinite screw . It does stop at one point and get tight so you’re using it incorrectly.
Those darts are 80gr. At a speed of 200fps you get a WHOPPING... 7ftlbs... For reference you usually get around 30ftlbs out of a 40lb recurve.
We small game hunt with them
Rabbit hunting with this would be a ball...
There is a guy who hunts hogs with a blowgun can’t remember the channel but I think it was slockmaster
Tim wells killed a bear with one. He's killed all sorts of things with one. His channel has all the videos
Grown men cackling like 14 year old girls.
Inflate your lungs, pull in your belly as much as you can then release, you will see a much better result, if you engage your abdominal muscles to push your diaphragm up into your lungs.
Think of it like priming your lungs to shoot.
I can shoot my darts up to 30 metres away
Imagine placing DMT on a blowgun. Stroll around town getting brains expanded
Tim Wells is the guy who used this blowgun to take down a bear. the name of the video on youtube is Bear killed with Blowgun
How can you do it, I still can't do it like this Hear the voice, oh my god
Song name please, thanks
you're also aiming too low in the chronography. that's keeping your speeds down.... at least on paper
😎
I live in Australia its going to cost me $500 to get a cold steel blowgun sent herr. I would like too know if you could send me oned of your. Much appriciatted.. regards Andy
I saw the video of the guy killing the bear with one
Put one on an air compressor.
When you blow the dart keep blowing until the dart leaves the Blow Pipe....
Haha I told you.
bicycle spokes and electrical tape.
Tim wells has killed a bear also a baboon and I’m sure a lot more
Only thing I've killed with these, is my time!!! lol
You have to practice to get good. I've killed Raccoons and birds. It takes a while to get it, but once you do, it's the most rewarding feeling to hunt with a blowgun.
True! Blowgun seems easy to shoot and easy to find the target, but then, you relize it's limits in distance as also, how difficult things turn, when you go for the real stuff like hunting! Thanks for encouraging me man, happy hunting and have fun!!@@r1sabotage
Illegal in UK. Damn it !
I don't think it's illegal to blow a paper cone with some hot glue in the inside end through a half-inch PVC tube with a half-inch to one-inch adapter on the end, though making a dart like that with a nail may be a bit too much.
@@yorkleroy5605 In the United Kingdom under the Criminal Justice Act 1988, and in Australia, the blowgun is categorized as an offensive weapon, and as such it is illegal to manufacture, sell or hire or offer for sale or hire, expose or have in one's possession for the purpose of sale or hire, or lend or give to any other person.
@@adeejames are those toy ones with the darts that stick to glass sold there? If so I doubt you would get in trouble for owning a pipe, it's not technically a blowgun and you don't need to tell anyone
It's called Diaphragm power bro, u gonna scare away your prey with all that breathing in n out 🤧😆
We know fibatape will bow, but we need to know; fibaFUSE. Will. It. Bow!?!!!
a guy did kill a bear with one you can kill deer and boar too
Man, you got baby lungs. I can get to mid-300s. You need to release air more explosively. Like cricket spitting.
You are making this way to difficult! Say Thaa. . . . like you are spitting the word out with your tongue against the roof of your mouth. . .you will double your speed! 1/2 metal emt conduit, pvc fitting for the mouthpiece and wire nuts with 8d nails heated and pushed through the center and then a drop of super glue to secure the head of the nail. I kill Jackrabbits with them all of the time. . .8d nail. . .right through the eye!
BMX spokes will up your game with caulking tube nozzles for the driving cones available on ebay. . .absolutely deadly on rodents!
TOOB!
