At SurvivorGeek, multi-function items are revered and touted. Cold Steel's Big Bore Blowguns fit the bill, as they can be used as a hunting tool, a hiking stick, an impact weapon, and a firestarting aid! How can this marvel of innovation be? Well, let me tell you: First of all, this .625 caliber, 5-foot long, Two Piece blowgun can have an effective range out to 20 yards (or more!) and is capable of shooting darts three times heavier, and at speeds up to 20% faster, than competing products. That's a payload easily capable of penetrating a half-inch sheet of plywood! What this all comes down to is a very effective hunting tool that can stop small game in their tracks! (Be sure to consider the 2-Foot extension for this model; increases range, power and accuracy!) Additionally, the rubber mouthpiece is extended down the pipe to serve as a handle grip and the blowgun comes with a ferrule that fits over the business end; this combination allows the blowgun to be used as a hiking stick! And because it comes apart in the middle, the collapsible Big Bore Blowgun is a cinch to break down for easier carry if you're riding a horse or in a vehicle. On top of that, because these blowguns are made from aircraft-grade aluminum (read, lightweight and strong), they can work as a bludgeoning weapon in a close combat situation. And finally, if you're having trouble getting your fire going good, you can use the blowpipe to direct a blast of air right to the flame without getting a face full of smoke and sparks! (Just make sure that, like Bill Clinton, you don't inhale!) This model comes with a dart quiver and an assortment of darts (12 Stun Darts, 12 Mini Broad Head, 6 Hunting Broad Head, and 6 Bamboo).
