#ranged_weapon #Equipment
The blowpipe is typically used for hunting birds. It is made of a hollow reed, averaging five feet in length. The small pellets were made of clay.
A long, narrow tube that lets the user launch breath-propelled darts. The projectiles are too tiny to be effective against large animals or humans without poison. It can be used for blowing powders into an opponent’s face.
