What is the blow?
Blow Gun is a primitive weapon that originates in ancient history. The weapon is built of a narrow, hollow light tube. By blowing air to one end of the wound, a small arrow or another projectile in several hundred feet per second is fired from the weapon. Although it is very simple, the wound has been used for centuries as an effective hunting weapon around the world.
The exact origin of the wound is lost in history anals. Many scientists believe that the weapon has been invented in many places around the world during the Stone Age. The earliest written references to the wounds were dated to Roman and Chinese sources of the 2nd century.
The length of the wound usually varies depending on several factors. First of all, the longer the weapon, the more air flow is necessary to effectively fire the arrow. If the hunter has a thick lung and a long blow, it is possible to bury the arrow with several inches in a wooden destination. Sport blow weapons are often shorter than traditional hunting versions, because accuracy is more important than the power of the dart.
Blow weapons are made of different materials depending on the location of production. The modern wound is often made of light metal or durable polymer with a plastic piece of mouth that transmits the full force of the user's air flow. Modern wounds are usually divided into several pieces to allow easy cleaning. Ancient or homemade blowing weapons are usually made of bamboo or cane and can be made of a solid piece or segmented.
The most common projectile fired by the wound is the arrow. Some hunters use the poison arrow because the wound is not guaranteed to kill one shot. The most famous type of poison used is from a poisonous frog (from the family dendrobatidae ), which excludes the highly toxic chemical substance from the cuticle. Modern, professionally produced arrows are available in many different styles such as a wide head, a spear or a "stun" (a very short arrowfrom a weighted rear end with a short point). Before the arrows were used, many burned pellets of stone or clay.
In the United States, the wound is classified as a weapon, but most adults (ie ages 18 and over) are legally allowed to own and use them in most American states. It is illegal to own a wound in Canada, and any wound brought to the ground must be deactivated by drilling a hole on the base of a weapon or completely airway blocking.
