blowdarts
Jungle hunters' ammunition
Blowdarts are small projectiles shot from a blowgun—a narrow tube through which the user blows a sharp breath.
Traditional blowdarts often carry poison on their tips.
The word also refers to the activity itself: We played blowdarts at the bar.
In casual use, blowdart can function as a verb: He blowdarted a tranquilizer into the escaped monkey.
