They received help and shelter from a local tribe, the Dayaks, who still hunted with blowpipes. ❋ Andrew Mueller (2010)
Implementing the law could prove to be tough as much of India's jewelry is handmade and fashioned in small workshops, often using blowpipes and candles or oil flames. ❋ Rajesh Roy (2012)
See, for the last couple of months, well, ever since the last contract fight and mostly since the ratings sag, Billy's long lost brother has been emailing from Brazil, where he is working dangerously close to a rain forest where Jivaro Indians run wild with blowpipes and kill people with poison darts so they can shrink their heads for watch fobs. ❋ Unknown (2003)
The vets would use either dart guns or blowpipes to administer the anesthetic. ❋ McBain, Ed, 1926- (2001)
Gerrard bent and picked up one of the darts from the Kyren blowpipes. ❋ Lebaron, Francis (1999)

The trunk is used for construction and the spines are used as darts in blowpipes and as tips on fish spears. ❋ Unknown (1990)
They were no good in a fight at close range, but when they were at a distance (as they were now) they were very dangerous with their blowpipes and poisoned arrows. ❋ Strugatski, Arkadi & Strugatski, Boris (1973)
A complete reversal of this law is shown in that ruling the construction of blowpipes, which I have already given in a previous paper on 'The Use and Construction of the Blowpipe.' ❋ Various (N/A)
A much higher pressure than is usually employed in gas-burners, other than blowpipes, would be needed to confer a sufficient degree of velocity upon the gas, a pressure which would probably fracture any incandescent mantle placed in the flame. ❋ W. J. Atkinson Butterfield (N/A)
He waited, tense, the hair at the back of his neck stiffening as he thought of blowpipes and of darts poisoned by steeping in the putrid entrails of wild hogs. ❋ Charles Goff Thomson (N/A)
I have made for special work -- such as heating up odd shapes of forgings, brands, etc. -- blowpipes constructed of perforated tubes formed to almost every conceivable shape; these being supplied with gas from the ordinary main and a blast of air from a Root's or foot blower. ❋ Various (N/A)
It will, perhaps, be new to many of you that blowpipes can easily be made in a form which admits of any special shape of flame being produced. ❋ Various (N/A)
The thousands of uses to which blowpipes are adapted are so well known, that they need no mention, except the curiously ignored fact that the power of any blowpipe depends on the air pressure. ❋ Various (N/A)
The construction and power of blowpipes, with the laws ruling the proportions and power, will be found in an article on "Blowpipe Construction," published in _Design and Work_, March, 1881, and as the matter is there fully treated, no further reference to the subject is necessary. ❋ Various (N/A)
In a small private workshop, with the assistance of gas furnaces, blowpipes, and other gas heating appliances, it is a very easy matter to carry out important experiments privately on a practical scale. ❋ Various (N/A)
Of all the tools in a workshop, nothing saves more time and worry than two or three sizes of good blowpipes and an efficient blower. ❋ Various (N/A)
The ordinary glass tubes used by glass-blowers make good blowpipes, which should have a diameter of 0.5 in. and be not less than 6 ft. long. ❋ Montagu Browne (N/A)
One interesting trait of this particular group is the use of blowpipes for killing small birds. ❋ John M. Garvan (N/A)
With long iron blowpipes these men, by giving the blowpipe a little twirl as they thrust it into the semi-molten metal, drew out on the end of it a small mass of glass, of about the consistency of nearly melted sealing wax, and holding this mass on the end of the blowpipe by keeping it in motion, they blew it into balls and rolled the ball of soft, red-hot glass on their rolling boards. ❋ Francis Rolt-Wheeler (1918)
Wife: Babe [do you mind] if i [blowpipe]?
Husband: [No prob], go ahead. ❋ Sully Van (2019)
