Blow darts are easy to make and all the materials can be found in your own
|
|
home. These darts can travel a long distance with good penetration if
|
|
constructed correctly.
|
|
|
|
Materials needed:
|
|
|
|
A small piece of wood
|
|
A sewing machine needle
|
|
A spool of thread
|
|
A couple nails
|
|
Hammer
|
|
Glue
|
|
Scissors
|
|
|
|
Hammer the two nails about two inches apart on the board. Wrap the thread
|
|
tightly around the two nails. The number of times the thread is wrapped aroun
|
|
|
|
the nails will determine the amount of weight and stability the dart has. Onc
|
|
|
|
you have decided you have wrapped enough thread, cut it close to the nail at
|
|
around a half inch. Take this small tuft of thread and put a dab of glue on t
|
|
e
|
|
folded end. The kind of glue you use is very important. I suggest that you us
|
|
|
|
a tacky kind of glue (nothing runny, like Elmer's glue). Attach this to the
|
|
needle and hold until it is dry.
|
|
Another kind of dart can be made with Q-tips. This kind of dart doesn't wo
|
|
k
|
|
as well as the first one, but it is sometimes easier to make. first you have
|
|
o
|
|
get the kind of Q-tips that have a plastic stem. Cut the Q-tip close to one
|
|
end. Insert the sewing needle into the Q-tip and secure it by melting the
|
|
plastic slightly with a lighter. This kind of dart doesn't last long because
|
|
the cotton come off easily.
|
|
|
|
Blow Guns:
|
|
|
|
Ordinary straws make an excellent blow gun with this kind of dart. Another
|
|
kind can be made with a cheap pen by taking apart the pen and using the shell
|
|
|
|
Any long, cylindrical, object with the diameter of a straw will work very wel

PIPE OR "ZIP" GUNS
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Commonly known as "zip" guns, guns made from pipe have been used for years by
|
|
juvenile punks. Today's Militants make them just for the hell of it or to
|
|
shoot once in an assassination or riot and throw away if there is any danger of
|
|
apprehension.
|
|
|
|
They can be used many times but with some, a length of dowel is needed to force
|
|
out the spent shell.
|
|
|
|
There are many variations but the illustration shows the basic design.
|
|
|
|
First, a wooden stock is made and a groove is cut for the barrel to rest in.
|
|
The barrel is then taped securely to the stock with a good, strong tape.
|
|
|
|
The trigger is made from galvanized tin. A slot is punched in the trigger flap
|
|
to hold a roofing, which is wired or soldered onto the flap. The trigger is
|
|
bent and nailed to the stock on both sides.
|
|
|
|
The pipe is a short length of one-quarter inch steel gas or water pipe with a
|
|
bore that fits in a cartridge, yet keeps the cartridge rim from passing through
|
|
the pipe.
|
|
|
|
The cartridge is put in the pipe and the cap, with a hole bored through it, is
|
|
screwed on. Then the trigger is slowly released to let the nail pass through
|
|
the hole and rest on the primer.
|
|
|
|
To fire, the trigger is pulled back with the left hand and held back with the
|
|
thumb of the right hand. The gun is then aimed and the thumb releases the
|
|
trigger and the thing actually fires.
|
|
|
|
Pipes of different lengths and diameters are found in any hardware store. All
|
|
caliber bullets, from the .22 to the .45 are used in such guns.
|
|
|
|
Some zip guns are made from two or three pipes nested within each other. For
|
|
instance, a .22 shell will fit snugly into a length of a car's copper gas line.
|
|
Unfortunatey, the copper is too weak to withstand the pressure of the firing.
|
|
So the length of gas line is spread with glue and pushed into a wider length of
|
|
pipe. This is spread with glue and pushed into a length of steel pipe with
|
|
threads and a cap.
|
|
|
|
Using this method, you can accomodate any cartridge, even a rifle shell. The
|
|
first size of pipe for a rifle shell accomodates the bullet. The second
|
|
accomodates its wider powder chamber.
|
|
|
|
A 12-gauge shotgun can be made from a 3/4 inch steel pipe. If you want to
|
|
comply with the gun laws, the barrel should be at least eighteen inches long.
|
|
|
|
Its firing mechanism is the same as that for the pistol. It naturally has a
|
|
longer stock and its handle is lengthened into a rifle butt. Also, a small
|
|
nail is driven half way into each side of the stock about four inches in the
|
|
front of the trigger. The rubber band is put over one nail and brought around
|
|
the trigger and snagged over the other nail.
|
|
|
|
In case you actually make a zip gun, you should test it before firing it by
|
|
hand. This is done by first tying the gun to a tree or post, pointed to where
|
|
it will do no damage. Then a string is tied to the trigger and you go off
|
|
several yards. The string is then pulled back and let go. If the barrel does
|
|
not blow up, the gun is safe to fire by hand.
|
|
|
|
You should not attempt to register such a gun.
