Ha! I am just a man trying to follow your lead on this blowgun stuff... got ya book marked for making my paper darts in the future...

Lookin at the tube in your video caused me to ask a question. Are polished interior surface tubes or non-polished tubes better? When I say better I mean in regards to the amount of friction resistance on the dart. Hmmm.

You know I was thinking the same thing... I had in mind a glass tube may work well... just have to think of a way to protect it from breaking maybe a copper tube wide enough for the glass to be inserted... anyway its just a thought not sure if it will go further than that.

The reason I asked is that it seems that friction is often reduced on non-polished surfaces. As an example, it is usually easier to slide an item across frosted glass than standard polished glass.

I could see this but on the flip side a non polished surface would allow more air to pass around the dart. Less friction but also less of an air seal. hmmm Looks like we may have a lot of experimenting to do.

OH ps Welcome to the forum and look forward to more of your vids!!!

I think each would have benefits in different situations. A polished bore would enable a near perfect seal for shooting great distances or very heavy darts while a bore with a texture would be less likely to grab a film cone style dart if condensation were allowed to build up.
