Cold Steel Big Bore Blowgun Kit - Includes Darts and Dart Quiver

works very well aswell as being very powerful but it came with loose darts and it was missing 5 of the mini broadhead darts.

Ich habe das Blasrohr bei der Firma Kopp Verlag über Amazon bestellt. Um es kurz zu machen: Es ist mega! Zielgenau, stabil und super verarbeitet. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass die Pfeile so weit fliegen und das Blasrohr so lang ist. Bitte nicht als Spielzeug in Kinderhände geben! Sonst absolute Kaufempfehlung.

I've had a variety of blow guns over the years and can say I like this a lot, but don't love it. Pros: Very well made - no cheap aluminum and connection is strong. Works as expected (ie: really good). .625 offers a lot of advantages if you plan to hunt. The larger projectiles generally are more powerful. They also provide a better platform for constructing cool things like fishing darts. (doesn't work very well with a smaller caliber dart) Cons (roughly in order): 1 - The pieces broken down are still too long to do much with (ie: too long for a duffle). I'd pay more to get a 3 piece of this quality. Point being: Think about whether you really need to break it down and how you'll carry it when you do. You may be better off just getting the full size (longer & sturdier). 2 - .625 is a choice. Its larger than standard so you won't be reusing any old ammunition. Some may struggle to put enough air into the tube (most people shouldn't though). You'll also be somewhat limited in your vendor choices for ammo. 3 - .625 will make you work harder to make your own ammo (highly preferable IMO -- once you start shooting, you want to customize ammo to what works for you). There are lots of tutorials online for duct tape darts which are ok. Personally, I prefer darts made from the standard Red Wire Nut. With a little bit of work, these make high quality & durable flights. Obviously, the cons are pretty small. If you think you want to hunt -- get it (and find a tutorial on blowgun fishing online!).

Last year squirrels wrecked all of our fruit trees. Two peach trees, two apple trees, one plum, two pawpaws, all loaded with fruit, all completely stripped by squirrels. This year I am harboring a vendetta against these tree rats so besides setting conibear traps for them in the trees, I thought I'd use whatever other legal means I could to dispatch the pests. My pellet rifle isn't very accurate, so I thought I'd try this blowgun. First, this is the same as one that is being sold elsewhere for almost twice the price. Though the model number on the front, and in this listing, says B6255TZ, on the back of the package it is indicated as model B6255T, the same as other listings. I've only worked with this for about 1/2 hour or so, but that was enough for me to form a strong enough opinion to write a review. I did not expect to be as impressed with this as I was. Others complain about bad darts, but they all performed fine for me, including the few that had slightly misshapen cones. Once they were pushed into the end of the blowgun they reshaped themselves into circles and shot fine. I've only shot the mini-broadheads so far. I propped a 1/2" piece of plywood against a tree in our backyard and from about ten yards away aimed for a knot in the wood. My first shot was low, but after that achieved a tight grouping around and on top of the knot, so tight I actually penetrated one of the darts cones, and this was the first time I'd tried this blowgun! Even more surprising, I had to use a pair of pliers to pull all but a couple of the darts out of the plywood. Most buried their heads in the wood, and a few were even starting to poke out the back of the board. I honestly wasn't expecting that kind of power or accuracy. The blowgun is solidly made and at this price a bargain, especially considering how well it performs. On a side note, I've seen several videos on youTube detailing how to make your own darts by using paper cones, nails and hot glue. For the heck of it I made a few - took about three minutes to make one - and tried them out. To my surprise they outperformed the mini-broadheads! Not only were they tighter packed around my target, but they penetrated the plywood!

Hallo und danke für das schöne Blasrohr! Ich habe es natürlich sofort ausprobiert und den Karton vom Versand als Zielscheibe hergenommen, Und ich war überrascht von der Power und Präzision. Zu meiner Überraschung durchschlug der Pfeil gleich beide Seiten vom Karton, nun bestelle ich wohl gleich noch etwas neue Farbe für die Wand 🤣

I had been considering purchasing a blowgun for about a month before I actually purchased this one, and I accidentally purchased this two piece Big Bore instead of the one piece that I had been looking at. I didn't realize my mistake until it arrived... As I was unboxing it I was slightly concerned about how sturdy it would be considering the fact that there are two pieces. This worry was blown away (badum tsss) as soon as I assembled it. The design of this two piece is just about as sturdy as could be with a long tube and tight threading which allows it to look and feel like one solid tube. I use this for small animal control, especially for the chipmunks which are slightly out of control this year in CT, and it is very powerful and rugged with a rubber cap in the end which allows for walking stick type of use in the woods or on any surface. I did have a little bit of trouble with some of the orange cones on the end of the darts breaking (they are just made of plastic) but you can easily order more in bulk for a reasonable price. Other than a few darts breaking I have had no trouble at all with this product. This is something that I would definitely consider purchasing again and I know that there are professional hunters who use this as their primary weapon. This one's a winner.
