You're probably better off with bbq skewers.

But I didn't say that.... :roll:

I don't mean to be a spoilsport, and good fun they as they may be. I would advise that if anyone were considering using or carrying a blowpipe or similar, that they do so in an area to which the public do not have access, otherwise they may find themselves atracting problems. Under the law, a blowpipe is an offensive weapon, in the same way that lock knives/bladed articles are, the difference is that there are much more reasonable explanations that may be given by a responsible adult relating to the carriage of a lock knife/ bladed article than a blowpipe, particularly if the blowpipe is carried with it's amminition.

Hope that this is of use.

Cheers

oh good idea. im using 1/4" dowell .seems very light .read about it on blowgunhunter .found it on google.it,ll give me something to do tonight now heroes of telemark is over.
apparently you need to put a broadhead point on them if using for vermin control.
although i wont be doing that.but if its very accurate im sure it would be good for pigeons....which i do not condone
obviously this is not something to be doing in the public park chaps.but on private land and at safe targets ..eg ; archery bosses, hay bales etc.
keep it legal as usual eh.

this is a karrimat ,peppered with home made darts [ good idea about the skewers stew] check out the penetration. also if you look closely you will see where two shots have hit previous ones and stuck in the flights.with a bit of r+d i should get the right length and weight ratio to make these really accurate. these were shot from 25 feet away through a 5ft length of copper pipe.
what fun.
ps dont use your leather couch as a back stop!!! lol
mine has some ventilation holes in it now.naughty! :-?

Hi folks

Danzo the legal bod from britishblades.com here, wot wrote your knife law article a while back. I was browsing through and saw this one so I thought I would be a spoilsport with my first post!

:evil:

Blowpipes are basically illegal, although you can keep one predating the legislation in your home. It is illegal to buy, sell and import them.



Sorry! They are fun though!

:twisted:

Is it illegal to make a blowpipe Danzo, like it's illegal to make autos and balis etc?

I agree, I can unload 25 shots from my 10/22 faster than any blowgun, and it's a lot of fun :evil:

Section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 bans the manufacture and supply of them.

 

[Stuart]

So it is illegal to make, buy, import or sell one
They are almost defiantly illegal to use for hunting

So I would suggest that the conversation about the use of blowguns for hunting in this country ends here
