Blowgun is a simple
weapon that usually consists of a simple small tube of which the wielder blows into one opening which fires a light
projectile (usually called a Blowdart) out the other.
Often for maximum effectiveness, the projective is envenomed with a poison.
Many cultures have used this weapon, but various indigenous rain forest tribes in South America are the best known wielders.
