hey everyone here’s my simple DIY survivalist blowgun
survivalist blowgun
survivalist blowgun I built this using less than five
I built this using less than five
I built this using less than five dollars in parts that I found at the
dollars in parts that I found at the
dollars in parts that I found at the dollar store so really anyone can try
dollar store so really anyone can try
dollar store so really anyone can try this but please be careful use common

now this broom specifically has bristles that are different in length here I’ve
that are different in length here I’ve
that are different in length here I’ve already taken this broom apart basically
already taken this broom apart basically
already taken this broom apart basically just unscrews from the actual handle the
just unscrews from the actual handle the
just unscrews from the actual handle the ones that I have grouped off are
ones that I have grouped off are
ones that I have grouped off are actually too long and you want to use
actually too long and you want to use
actually too long and you want to use these ones in the center and you can use
these ones in the center and you can use
these ones in the center and you can use all of these to make about 10 to 15
all of these to make about 10 to 15
all of these to make about 10 to 15 darts I haven’t counted exactly but
darts I haven’t counted exactly but
darts I haven’t counted exactly but basically what you want to do is take
basically what you want to do is take
basically what you want to do is take some pliers and very gently wiggle and
some pliers and very gently wiggle and
some pliers and very gently wiggle and pry out this little plume here so you’ll
pry out this little plume here so you’ll
pry out this little plume here so you’ll be left with one of these which is nice
be left with one of these which is nice
be left with one of these which is nice because it’s easy to work with there’s
because it’s easy to work with there’s
because it’s easy to work with there’s this little thing that sort of looks
this little thing that sort of looks
this little thing that sort of looks like a staple that’s holding these
like a staple that’s holding these
like a staple that’s holding these together that’s perfect so what you want
together that’s perfect so what you want
together that’s perfect so what you want to do is get three of them and then set
to do is get three of them and then set
to do is get three of them and then set those aside next item you’ll need is a
those aside next item you’ll need is a
those aside next item you’ll need is a baking tray these are absolutely cooling
baking tray these are absolutely cooling
baking tray these are absolutely cooling racks you can get two for a dollar so
racks you can get two for a dollar so
racks you can get two for a dollar so those are pretty nice you can see I’ve
those are pretty nice you can see I’ve
those are pretty nice you can see I’ve already sort of cut these apart I
already sort of cut these apart I
already sort of cut these apart I started by cutting each end and then
started by cutting each end and then
started by cutting each end and then cutting it in the middle and it doesn’t
cutting it in the middle and it doesn’t
cutting it in the middle and it doesn’t really matter how you do that so you
really matter how you do that so you
really matter how you do that so you want to be left with section that looks
want to be left with section that looks
want to be left with section that looks about let’s just do it here cut it here
about let’s just do it here cut it here
about let’s just do it here cut it here and then here
so here we have our portion that’s going
so here we have our portion that’s going to act as our needle for the blowgun
to act as our needle for the blowgun
to act as our needle for the blowgun next what you want to do is buy some
next what you want to do is buy some
next what you want to do is buy some wire that you can see this wire here
wire that you can see this wire here
wire that you can see this wire here this came in a three pack so you have
this came in a three pack so you have
this came in a three pack so you have tons to use for this you’re going to
tons to use for this you’re going to
tons to use for this you’re going to need about I’d say about six to eight
need about I’d say about six to eight
need about I’d say about six to eight inches of wire probably less so what you
inches of wire probably less so what you
inches of wire probably less so what you want to do is sort by modifying your
want to do is sort by modifying your
want to do is sort by modifying your needle this is very simple basically you
needle this is very simple basically you
needle this is very simple basically you want to take some pliers which they also
want to take some pliers which they also
want to take some pliers which they also sell to dollar store but they’re very
sell to dollar store but they’re very
sell to dollar store but they’re very crappy and you want to take about a
crappy and you want to take about a
crappy and you want to take about a centimeter and make an L like this then
centimeter and make an L like this then
centimeter and make an L like this then you want to take that L and grab it at
you want to take that L and grab it at
you want to take that L and grab it at the very end and get a good grip on it
the very end and get a good grip on it
the very end and get a good grip on it end it over like that and then pinch the
end it over like that and then pinch the
end it over like that and then pinch the two together so you get this little loop
two together so you get this little loop
two together so you get this little loop this is going to act as a stopper for
this is going to act as a stopper for
this is going to act as a stopper for when you pull it through this portion
when you pull it through this portion
when you pull it through this portion here so next what you want to do is take
here so next what you want to do is take
here so next what you want to do is take your three little plumes whatever you
your three little plumes whatever you
your three little plumes whatever you want to call them and you want to set
want to call them and you want to set
want to call them and you want to set them set two on the bottom then put this
them set two on the bottom then put this
them set two on the bottom then put this one on top and then this one sort of
one on top and then this one sort of
one on top and then this one sort of holding the three together so you have
holding the three together so you have
holding the three together so you have something like this next what would help
something like this next what would help
something like this next what would help is to get a zip tie they also sell the
is to get a zip tie they also sell the
is to get a zip tie they also sell the dollar store for like you get like 20 or
dollar store for like you get like 20 or
dollar store for like you get like 20 or 30 of them for a dollar which is pretty
30 of them for a dollar which is pretty
30 of them for a dollar which is pretty ridiculous things are really useful so
ridiculous things are really useful so
ridiculous things are really useful so you just use you know how to zip tie
you just use you know how to zip tie
you just use you know how to zip tie works
if not you’re going to learn today all
if not you’re going to learn today all right so it’s not suicide so if that
right so it’s not suicide so if that
right so it’s not suicide so if that happens you just put it like that and
happens you just put it like that and
happens you just put it like that and that might move around it’s going to be
that might move around it’s going to be
that might move around it’s going to be it’s going to be all over the place for
it’s going to be all over the place for
it’s going to be all over the place for a little bit but you just basically want
a little bit but you just basically want
a little bit but you just basically want that to sit there like so you can clip
that to sit there like so you can clip
that to sit there like so you can clip off this and that’s going to get
off this and that’s going to get
off this and that’s going to get annoying alright so here’s what you have
annoying alright so here’s what you have
annoying alright so here’s what you have so far looks pretty decent next what you
so far looks pretty decent next what you
so far looks pretty decent next what you want to do is make sure that the little
want to do is make sure that the little
want to do is make sure that the little needle is actually pointing inward so if
needle is actually pointing inward so if
needle is actually pointing inward so if it comes out that’s fine okay then what
it comes out that’s fine okay then what
it comes out that’s fine okay then what you want to do is take your section of
you want to do is take your section of
you want to do is take your section of wire cut it off then take this here and
wire cut it off then take this here and
wire cut it off then take this here and grab it with your pliers you want to
grab it with your pliers you want to
grab it with your pliers you want to sort of get about the same length that
sort of get about the same length that
sort of get about the same length that you’re actually going to be wiring it so
you’re actually going to be wiring it so
you’re actually going to be wiring it so like this okay
there we go and then grab it here so
there we go and then grab it here so that that stays everything sort of you
that that stays everything sort of you
that that stays everything sort of you want everything to stay there obviously
and then if your first couple little
and then if your first couple little rounds aren’t that tight that’s not that
rounds aren’t that tight that’s not that
rounds aren’t that tight that’s not that big of a deal
as you go it will become better and
as you go it will become better and easier to you to okay so I just want to
easier to you to okay so I just want to
easier to you to okay so I just want to go around and I’m doing this fairly
go around and I’m doing this fairly
go around and I’m doing this fairly quickly so you guys can do it on camera
quickly so you guys can do it on camera
quickly so you guys can do it on camera now really bore you to death okay
now really bore you to death okay
now really bore you to death okay but you want to be as you want to be as
but you want to be as you want to be as
but you want to be as you want to be as clean and as neat as possible using the
clean and as neat as possible using the
clean and as neat as possible using the pliers tighten it every so often okay
pliers tighten it every so often okay
pliers tighten it every so often okay and then when you have this little
and then when you have this little
and then when you have this little excess portion you can see here just
excess portion you can see here just
excess portion you can see here just tuck it over this here and just like you
tuck it over this here and just like you
tuck it over this here and just like you might want to actually use a little bit
might want to actually use a little bit
might want to actually use a little bit more wire but you guys get the picture
more wire but you guys get the picture
more wire but you guys get the picture okay and then just bend that over and
okay and then just bend that over and
okay and then just bend that over and you have basically the beginning this
you have basically the beginning this
you have basically the beginning this little thing needs to be sort of tucked
little thing needs to be sort of tucked
little thing needs to be sort of tucked in there we go so as as that’s sort of
in there we go so as as that’s sort of
in there we go so as as that’s sort of unfolding you can take off this you have
unfolding you can take off this you have
unfolding you can take off this you have your your back and you can see the wires
your your back and you can see the wires
your your back and you can see the wires in there so you sort of want to wiggle
in there so you sort of want to wiggle
in there so you sort of want to wiggle that around and adjust it so that it
that around and adjust it so that it
that around and adjust it so that it sits in there nice and comfy then pull
sits in there nice and comfy then pull
sits in there nice and comfy then pull it all the way to the top so that it’s
it all the way to the top so that it’s
it all the way to the top so that it’s in there’s tight as possible and it’s
in there’s tight as possible and it’s
in there’s tight as possible and it’s going to lock up in with this little
going to lock up in with this little
going to lock up in with this little thing here and then you want to cut it
thing here and then you want to cut it
thing here and then you want to cut it about an inch and a half away
and now you can see I cut it a little
and now you can see I cut it a little bit longer but that’s because I’m going
bit longer but that’s because I’m going
bit longer but that’s because I’m going to use a dremel tool to sharpen this
to use a dremel tool to sharpen this
to use a dremel tool to sharpen this little needle tip and you can also use
little needle tip and you can also use
little needle tip and you can also use like a file or sandpaper
basically I’m just going to like twist
basically I’m just going to like twist it on there where we
if you’re gonna try this where I where’s
if you’re gonna try this where I where’s you’re using like fictive eye goggles or

back up about 5 feet and total will be
back up about 5 feet and total will be about 10 feet away and I’ll show you
about 10 feet away and I’ll show you
about 10 feet away and I’ll show you guys how this works you want to aim
guys how this works you want to aim
guys how this works you want to aim about two feet above you get the hang of
about two feet above you get the hang of
about two feet above you get the hang of it after a while is just going to drop
it after a while is just going to drop
it after a while is just going to drop pretty quickly because it’s pretty heavy
not to that first one was the best
not to that first one was the best actually and you can see they’re
actually and you can see they’re
actually and you can see they’re penetrating pretty nice that one went
penetrating pretty nice that one went
penetrating pretty nice that one went all these went to the base so it’s
all these went to the base so it’s
all these went to the base so it’s really about being able to calculate the
really about being able to calculate the
really about being able to calculate the arc needed because these are going to go
arc needed because these are going to go
arc needed because these are going to go pretty far because they’re going with
pretty far because they’re going with
pretty far because they’re going with enough velocity it’s just the weight is
enough velocity it’s just the weight is
enough velocity it’s just the weight is pulling them down too quickly so if you
pulling them down too quickly so if you
pulling them down too quickly so if you had like an air gun that you made these
had like an air gun that you made these
had like an air gun that you made these would be ideal I would say so like I was
would be ideal I would say so like I was
would be ideal I would say so like I was saying before you don’t even really need
saying before you don’t even really need
saying before you don’t even really need a blow gun you can just throw them like
a blow gun you can just throw them like
a blow gun you can just throw them like regular darts and they shoot they slide
regular darts and they shoot they slide
regular darts and they shoot they slide really straight oh oh hi I meant to do
really straight oh oh hi I meant to do
really straight oh oh hi I meant to do that that’s like pretty accurate but
that that’s like pretty accurate but
that that’s like pretty accurate but even look this is that’s pretty tough
even look this is that’s pretty tough
even look this is that’s pretty tough particle board and it went it’s enough
particle board and it went it’s enough
particle board and it went it’s enough to actually pull this off the wall so if
to actually pull this off the wall so if

you throw it hard enough and your tip is
you throw it hard enough and your tip is nice and pointy it’s going to do some
nice and pointy it’s going to do some
nice and pointy it’s going to do some pretty good damage so please be careful
pretty good damage so please be careful
pretty good damage so please be careful if you decide to try this at home it’s
