Indians For Guns

Guys ,

I was attending a international seminar on NM in Indonesia 2 years back and on my last day tried to look arround and came upon this guy with a decorated bamboo stick in hand , I was bit curious and upon closing up on him i saw that it was a blowpipe.

i asked him if it works and promptly a barb with cotton blob at one end and sharp tin point on the other was shoved in and with a quick and hard puff the barb was sent flying to embed in a palm tree at a distance of 5-6 feets , i was impressed bargaining was forgotten ,

enclosed are some pics of this amazing piece , the orginal air weapon of human kind still used by the rainforest dwelling tribals to get there meat from the jungle supermarts.

Thanks

Nice Thanks for posting

Great looking pieces. Every time I go into Cabelas or BassPro, I see those around but they're not as good looking as yours. Mostly it is plastic stuff. Maybe I'll give one a try, you just inspired me.

Some neat looking work on that rig.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Hi a_kamal,
> That's a pretty looking lethal piece you have there
> I've seen video clips of amazon tribes using this gizmo with barbs dipped in some herbal drug, that when shot would paralyze the quarry....

Thanks Guys ,
These weapons of the past were devised to assist man in his baisc needs , I was thinking about it this weekend as i was watching the KUNGU PANDA with my daughter , the hard htting part was how the joy giving cloourfull fireworks was ill-developed to become fire belching weapon of mass destruction .

i feel the guys in the youtubeclip shared by Briha are far better human beings ,
