Blowgun

A 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.
