This is brilliant....oh what fun I could have with the demise of the wasps next summer

We used to take 33 marrettes (the Orange wire connector) put a round of electrical tape, and a piece of 1/2 emt (conduit)... when your up on scissor lift, you can hit your partner in the head with ease... lol.. they fly well and far..

Blow guns are a prohibited weapon in Canada.
Don't ask me why. They are just on the list with hand grendes and switch blades.
If anyone knows why please enlighten the rest of us.

Blowguns are prohibited ?......unless I'm not looking in the right place, they are not listed in either of these links defining prohibited weapons in Canada.

I found them listed on the RCMP website. That was a while ago. Lets me get back from the states and I will try to find it again. I sure could use one for squirrels in the back yard.

OK..found it listed there....learn something new today...

I see that it was added to the list in 1977...well after my misguided, but fun, use of them in my childhood

(it was a Liberal Government in 1977...figures)

Former Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 6

• 12. The device commonly known as “Yaqua Blowgun”, being a tube or pipe designed for the purpose of shooting arrows or darts by the breath, and any similar device.

Speaking of kids. ...They sell blowguns( shooting everything from foam to steel tipped darts) in the toy section of lots of stores in the states.
You take a vacation and get the kid a "TOY", only to get arrested and charged by customs when you come home. Good thing the section say " Arrow or dart" I can just see some kid getting charged for shooting peas or spit balls out of bic pen tube.
Say 1977 was that not around the time of all those movies with spys and assasians using blowguns to kill people? I am surprised they did not ban spoons after the movie "Robin hood, prince of thieves". Someone made the threat to cut someone liver out with a spoon.

That is pretty cool.

Shame it's illegal! That would be fun.
