Cold Steel Big Bore Blowgun Kit - Includes Darts and Dart Quiver, Two-Piece Blowgun Black, 5'

The Cold Steel 5’ Two-Piece Blowgun is capable of pushing heavy 74-grain Razor Tip Broadhead darts at a maximum velocity of up to 135 fps, making it the most powerful commercially available blowgun in the world, along with the Tim Wells Slock Master .625 caliber blowgun. Both blowguns have an identical barrel and equal performance. However, I recommend the Slock Master over this blowgun for several reasons. First, I greatly prefer the broader, rounder mouthpiece on the Slock Master (see photo). It provides a wider surface for a good seal when blowing, and I find it more comfortable than the narrower Cold Steel mouthpiece. The Slock Master also includes a rubber barrel grip, which the Cold Steel blowgun does not. I really like a grip on my blowgun, not only for comfort but also to help me position my hand the same way every shot for consistency and best accuracy. Lastly, if you are planning to hunt with your blowgun the Slock Master includes 20 Razor Tip Broadhead darts which are the only ones I recommend for hunting, besides the Stun Dart. However, if price is a factor you can get a full package of Razor Tip Broadheads with the money you save going with this Cold Steel 5’ Two-Piece blowgun. This is a top quality product. While I normally don’t recommend two-piece models, the Cold Steel Two-Piece blowgun and Slock Master both have a very solid connector. While this is handy if you need to break your blowgun down for storage or transport, the connector is finely threaded and it takes a lot of twisting to unscrew it or screw it back in place. Darts are generally of good quality, but note that only the Stun Darts included with this blowgun are suitable for hunting, and then only for the very smallest of quarry. You also get Mini Broadheads which are great for target practice or plinking (but NOT for hunting due to the very small broadhead). The included Bamboo Darts are not very accurate due to warped shafts, but at least are lightweight and easy to blow. If you want to hunt, make sure you get the Razor Tip Broadheads which are by far the best available hunting darts. Note that the orange cones on all these darts are hard plastic, and if you hit another dart on your target board the cone will shatter. When target shooting I use multiple bulls-eyes to avoid “Robin-Hooding” my darts and destroying them. Note that these “Big Bore” blowguns require a fair amount of lung capacity to blow, so women and youth shooters should consider one of the shorter Cold Steel 4’ .625 blowguns instead (NOT the .357 Magnum Blowgun which is a much smaller caliber). However, for an average adult male the longer blowgun will shoot faster. Look for “Blowgun Hunting Ballistics” if you are interested in learning about .625 blowgun ballistics and how barrel length affects velocity, and about the ballistics of the individual darts. Pro Tip: If you can hear the dart hitting the connection inside the barrel, try rotating the mouthpiece 90 degrees and trying again. Do the same if accuracy or velocity seem to be affected by the dart hitting the edge inside the barrel. Pro Tip: Increase your velocity and consistency by saying "Tuh!" forcefully as you blow. You should feel it “deep in your gut” like a trumpet player would for forcefully blowing a trumpet. This pre-compresses the air in your mouth for one powerful, explosive burst of air and also helps you be consistent in velocity from shot to shot. It is simple and easy.

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!

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!).

Great blow gun but the packaging sucks, the amount of people who buy the blowgun and all the darts are out of the box is not even funny. I am missing 5 mini broad head darts out of the box. Hope I don’t find one in my tire.

This is a quality blowgun. Serious fun and serious hunter. I have not broken down into 2 parts since put together. Joiner has long thread line to secure both pieces of pipe without any flex. 60 " long is very accurate. Air volume required to move darts is very manageable. Darts are reasonable, cones are subject to chipping thus rendering useless. It would be nice to be able to buy replacement cones only. Stun darts are hard hitting. I've taken a rabbit accidentally with a head shot useing stun dart. Broad heads are good for close practice and small vermin. Although never tested out on a bird, I'm sure the wood darts will make short work of them. The razor darts, bought separately, are about 1 1/4 inch longer than broad heads, and shoot true in short distance. Here is a tip for hunters, make a killer dart by useing a stun dart with a razor dart shaft drilled into head of stun dart. The stun dart gives the hybrid dart weight that allows the razor shaft to penetrate flesh its entire length. This gives more of a probability of a kill with one hit on your prey. No one wants to see an animal hopping or climbing with an orange cone and dart sticking out of it. Drill a tight hole for the shaft, don't melt or glue, as you may have to pull it out with pliers if you impale your prey all the way through. The stun dart also keeps the hybrid from getting lost in grasses should you have a miss. Practice, you won't miss!

Overall Fantastic design. It's lightweight and sturdy, I find myself being accurate up to about 70 feet. The size is wonderful, being able to break it down to fit in a closet, trunk of your car or a backpack, although it may poke out a bit. Functionally, It's useful for just having fun plinking cans, bottles, or taking small game. Would highly recommend having something like this, even if it's just in storage for an emergency.

It takes a good, strong, exhalation to send these deep into a target. Very accurate, all the darts I used worked well and repeatedly. A few of the cones were molded too big, but that gave me something to do with about 15 minutes. This is a powerful tool if you have the lungs to use it. I expect it will work well on any animal I choose to use it on. Just fun to shoot too. I chose the 5 foot so I could break it down to put in my pack. It sticks out the top a little but comes with caps to protect the ends. I don't foresee a problem there.

This blow gun is great for the money, especially since I got it on sale for like $27 USD. It’s made of good quality material comes with plenty of darts to start you out silent but deadly easy enough to aim and it’s one heck of a work out for the lungs. I strongly recommend this blow gun. I can’t wait to pick up a few more things in order to kit it out properly, maybe I’ll even get a red dot sight then those pesky groundhogs will really be in for it!

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.

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

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 🤣

Ich liebe es.
