Question:

What is the best material to make a dart/blow gun from?

I am making a dart gun this weekend but i am not sure what material will make the dart go fasterI know that blowing through the one end causes it to go far, but i am wondering if there is something that will make it go through the tube fastAny requests?

Answer:

You need an aluminum tubeThe suggestion of PVC is only good if you're making a very short one, as it will sagIt's also very heavy in comparisonNo, there is nothing about the construction that can give it more velocityHooking a blowgun up to an air compressor, thought.that's a different storyI've pierced a 2x4 with a dart shot with the aid of an air compressorYou would be much better off just spending $20-$30 to buy one online.
