That'll teach you to always wear your helmet in chinese flea markets. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I did see the Cold Steel blowguns, and a few sites of people who make some serious looking darts from heavy gauge wire and plastic film. The idea of making my own darts from natural materials is more interesting to me though.

I think my next attempt will be a split of ash, carved into a 2D dart shape, then boil it and try to twist the fin. I'm still convinced that using a spin-inducing fin in conjunction with a wadding of fuzz to form the air seal in the tube will yield good results... If I can't make it work well I'll proceed to the classic toothpick-and-featherdown style.
