An Unpredictable Method Of Blowing An Assailant Away

By Sasha K Urech


Being a teenager becoming an adult inside the major city, I was exposed continuously to danger from street gangs and their ilk always trying to pick fights. The moment I was mugged and beaten up one day, I needed to find a method to safeguard myself next time.

I remember seeing a wildlife researcher on tv who utilized blowguns to pin down fast-moving animals with stun darts for research. I wondered if I could use the very same to fend off an opponent so I started out researching on where to buy blowguns and paintballs on the internet.

Blowguns themselves are just long, hollow tubes made out of materials ranging from plain wood to high-grade aluminum or steel. Ammunition usually includes darts, usually laced with a tranquilizer, but paintballs can be utilized also such as for recreation.

Normally, a projectile is loaded into one end of the blowgun and the user drives it out using a breath of air coming from his lungs. Expert blowgun users can easily hit targets several hundred feet away at rates of speed of nearly 200 feet per second.

Soon after taking a look at several different models, I settled on a .40 caliber, 24-inch-long blowgun made from T-6061 aircraft grade aluminum. As for ammunition, I settled for paintballs, as I did not desire to hurt an assailant critically, just drive him away.

My purchase included a package of 12 target darts, a mouthpiece, 2 dart quivers, a muzzle guard as well as a foam grip. It was pretty affordable, even for a simple college student having a meager weekly allowance.

I practice making use of it daily. Owing to its simpleness, I can train either at a full shooting range or in the privacy of my own house usually by setting up a few cans in the backyard and shooting them down.

A blowgun isn't a extremely common kind of self-defense tool, one that works best whenever complementing other tools rather than being used on its own. You should check out your local sports shops or Web sites to find out where to buy blowguns and paintballs most conveniently.
