blowpipe
Breath-powered weapon tube
A blowpipe is a tube through which air is blown.
The term covers several instruments: a long tube for shooting darts by blowing, used by some indigenous peoples for hunting; a tube for directing a stream of air into a flame to concentrate heat, used in metalworking and glassblowing; and a tube used to gather and shape molten glass.
He brought back a blowpipe from the Amazon.
