Hardened steel point, teflon driving band, aluminum or titanium fin-body. Calibre is 10mm/.40". Design based on the middle purple soft-tip projectile.

Tips! I'm thinking of making one with a blade for hunting.

I'm also wondering the feasibility of a tiny bit of tritium-phosphor in a vial ~1.5mm diameter with some fiber-optic light pipes leading down of the tail as a tracer...

Fixed a few geometry errors around the diameter of the tail fletch and barrel, as well as fixing the chisel point (four-sided).

Although I just figured it out, it's the damn cecil b. demille rule. you can depict rape, snuff, and torture so long as it's int the context of a historical/biblical drama, it will win awards, and you can be as sick and fetishist as you want.

what's next Mel Gibson's Caligulia?

There was a cool scene where the hero killed a guy with an improvised blowgun. It was fairly awesome.

Ah ok. I prefer the idea of Yanomami using these. I hear Cherokees like blowguns too :)

I also believe the time has come to enumerate the parts and materials of the dart.

Tip: Titanium-Nitrided Tool or Nitrided Maraging Steel
Flight Body: Anodized Aluminum
Obturator Flange: Polytetrafluoroethylene, aka Teflon
Light Source: Tritium Gas, Phosphor Coating, Borosilicate Glass (including buffers)
Fiber Optic: Transparent Polyethylene fiber bundle.

My question is why you really need a tracer when it moves slowly enough to track by eye. Unless you're hunting at night... which is strange when using any weapon.

Dart recovery, for the most part. These are good hunting/sport darts that don't come very cheap :)

And hunting at night isn't strange at all. There's also rat hunting as well.

Blowgun Dart, Calibre 10mm, Improved Mod 1

Increased fin area; added mass to lower-massed tips and modifications to others; designed two new tips. Also improved the teflon obturator for greater sealing effect.

EDIT: fixed up some shading to bring out the fin detail.

EDIT the Second: Modified the two barb needles for better sticking ability. Incidentally, dart's ability to be used with poison is likely enhanced as well.
