High quality enamel paint. 2 accessories quivers included along with 8 target darts. Lifetime Mfg Warranty, Made in USA Review: This Blowgun Is For REAL (Tips For Using It) - The amount of sheer fun in this "toy" is unreal. My kids and I have competitions in the garage and I think it's safe to say everyone is addicted to shooting this. Pro Tip: Most people think you need to blow hard, you don't. If you think back to the days of shooting spitwads out of a straw you'll recall that you covered the hole with your tongue, filled your lungs through your nose, puffing up your cheeks and then blew. This works the same exact way. While it's tempting to put the cup up to your mouth and blow as hard as you can, don't. Just slightly stick out your tongue (it doesn't touch the plastic), breath through your nose, puff up your checks and let it go. It will go noticeably faster, straighter and very likely right on target. Now, aiming. That's a bit trickier. Use both eyes, and get a "feel" for where it goes. Try to find a technique that allows you to use a side-stance, yet keep your upper body facing forward - this should work every time. Lastly, this is not a toy. This is a weapon that can double as entertainment. Be careful. It's extremely accurate from distances as far as 30 feet and highly addicting. Review: My son wanted to buy a cheap toy blowgun at a dollar store I suggested finding a real one - My son is only 10 but when he tried to buy some cheap dollar store toy blowgun it made me think "what a waste". It won't work well and will, at best, last through the weekend. Of course this one costs a lot more than the toy at the dollar store but it's still very inexpensive. My son had saved up a few allowances and could easily afford it. I think it's important to realize that this one is definitely not a toy and could be very dangerous if not used responsibly. My son uses his with my supervision at my place and uses my dartboard as the target. This blowgun seems like good quality, is extremely accurate (I can never hit an inner bull's eye with a regular dart but often can with the blowgun), and looks really cool. If used responsibly it's fun for all ages.

Blowgun is nice, be sure to buy extra darts
I purchased this as a fun activity for my kids and I when we go camping. Unfortunately it is a bit long for them to handle well, they are 10 and 8. I will buy the 18" or 24" versions for them now and I will keep this one. Blowgun seems well made, for as simple as it is. Fun and easy to shoot. Only comes with 8 darts, so be sure to buy more. You will also need to superglue the darts into the pastic bases or they will come off every time you shoot them. While practicing with a heavy-duty double-thickness cardboard box, from 15' the darts will penetrate all the way down to the plastic tips. If the tips are not glued on well, they will pop off when they hit the box and the dart will come out the other side of the box. Be sure you have a good backdrop and practice somewhere that if you lose the dart you wont have to worry about stepping on it (or your dog stepping on it). I will definately be buying a couple of the 18" 0r 24" versions for my kids to use. Great fun but a bit too long for them to handle properly. I will also be buying the 100 pack of extra darts. One more note, out of the 8 darts included, 2 of them had tips (the plastic piece) that were larger then the rest. This made them VERY hard to blow out of the gun, as an adult with good lungs I had trouble with it. So be sure to buy extra darts to account for the defects. For the price vs fun aspect, these are great. They will definately do damage to a pet, person, wall, tv, or whatever else they hit; so adult supervision is required.

Good size for hunting
This blow gun is the real deal - Very easy to aim, well sealed, true formed tube, and lethal. Kills rodents immediately, killed a big spider immediately, with a broad-head dart would kill Leporidae through blood loss if not trauma. I will be trying it out against squirrels sometime too. IT is not the military spec blowgun of special units, but not far off. The attached quivers are adequate, nothing special, but as I carry my darts on my vest I don't need them. For a first blow gun purchaser this is a little long; more accurate, but long - a better one to learn the skill with, would a 24 inch; still accurate, but easier to get used to. But if you have good lungs and hunt vermin.... This one is perfect. Of course, there are fancier ones out there, that cost more, have more features but it is just a pipe, well made, no matter who sells it - this one is more than adequate.

Truely a weapon...
My buddy talked me into getting a blowgun and WOW. This thing hauls. The accuracy is amazing too. I set up a dart board in my house down my longest hallway, about 25 ft, and we could paint the center all day long. You could easily hunt with this thing and some good needle darts. Remember to heat the tips of the needles with a candle flame before putting them into the plastic bases, you should hear a POP when they are seated correctly. Also, when i first got the blow gun I though the mouth piece had to be removed to insert the dart, this is not the case. You can push the dart through the anti-inhale mouth piece with TWO(2) clicks. The first little click will hold the dart right at the mouth piece, which is convenient if your waling around with the blow gun since the dart wont fall though the tube and out the end. With another click forward your ready to blow and send it flying. Do be careful as this thing is really a weapon and could easily send a dart many inches into human flesh, don't mess around with it. But wicked FUN!!!

Decent. Feels cheap, but that's not a surprise.
The "barrel" is straight and shoots accurately, the part that holds the darts is super hard to fit the darts into and I end up pulling the plastic off the back of them half the time. The foam grip slides around. The mouthpiece does not stay on. Works pretty well, I have never owned or used one of these so I can't offer comparison. Just feels a little cheaper than I expected. Was surprised darts will just slide out if you point it down. The mouthpiece has a lip you have to push the dart past, but the good thing is this prevents you from accidentally inhaling a dart and ending yourself.
