Types of Blowguns and Accessories

Barrel Length

Shorter barrels are easier to store, transport and handle indoors. Longer barrels give the dart more time under pressure, which generally improves accuracy over distance.

Calibre

Calibre determines which darts fit your barrel. The .40 calibre is the most widely stocked size internationally, which makes replacement darts easier to source over the long term.

Darts and Consumables

  • Target darts: the standard option for range practice and paper targets
  • Practice tips: blunted heads suited to foam and soft backstops
  • Dart quivers and holders: mounted or belt carried, keeping darts organised between shots
  • Mouthpieces and grips: comfort components that steady the barrel while you aim

View compatible accessories to keep spare darts and quivers on hand.

Buying Guide: What to Consider Before You Buy

Because a blowgun relies on your own lung pressure, the right specification matters more than raw size. Work through the following before you add to cart.

  • Calibre first: confirm the calibre before buying darts, since mismatched darts will not seal correctly in the barrel
  • Shooting distance: a compact barrel suits short indoor lanes, while longer barrels reward open garden or range distances
  • Build material: aluminium barrels are light and rigid, which helps you hold a steady line of sight
  • Dart supply: darts are consumables, so factor a spare pack into your first order
  • Backstop: a dedicated foam or cork target protects both your darts and the wall behind them
  • Legal responsibility: check your local municipal by-laws and use your blowgun only on private property or a controlled range

Common Uses and Applications

  • Target practice: breath control, posture and sighting all transfer usefully to other shooting disciplines
  • Recreational shooting: a quiet, low cost activity for a garage lane or garden setup
  • Collecting and display: traditional blowpipe designs remain popular with collectors
  • Outdoor kit: a lightweight addition to camping and bushcraft loadouts

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibre blowgun should I buy?

The .40 calibre is the most common blowgun size and has the widest dart availability, which makes it the safest long term choice for most buyers. Smaller calibres suit lighter darts and shorter ranges. Confirm the calibre of your blowgun before ordering replacement darts, since darts must seal against the barrel wall to fly accurately.

Does barrel length affect blowgun accuracy?

Yes. A longer barrel keeps the dart under air pressure for longer, which typically produces a flatter, more consistent flight path. Shorter barrels trade some of that accuracy for portability and easier handling in tight spaces, so choose based on where you plan to shoot

What do I need besides the blowgun itself?

Darts are consumables and bend or dull with use, so a spare pack is worth adding to your first order. A dedicated foam or cork target protects your darts and your walls, and a quiver keeps darts within reach between shots. Eye protection is strongly recommended for everyone in the shooting area.
