The latest in our retro munitions series, the Gazoontdart is portable, silent and potentially lethal.
A dual tripod system holds the barrel rigidly in place, the marksman's head rests snuggly in a Velcro strapped halo, and a valved snorkel is clamped firmly between his or her teeth.
A dart, (coatings optional), is fed into the chamber and once a target is acquired a push button dispenses a small cloud of aerosolized pepper particles directly into the olfactory trigger. The ensuing sneeze propels a tiny projectile at up to 85% of the speed of sound or 630 Mph. [link]

For recoil activated Bless You recording add an additional $ 29.95 plus shipping and handling. Packets of camouflaged tissue currently not in stock.

IFA pormotes to develop sport blowgun which anybody can enjoy [wagster, Jul 10 2005]

Is this all that remains of the once proud Pnuematic Spear Snorkel Company? I thought they went out of business.

Martyrdom is one thing. Getting covered in great swirling clods of snot is quite another. + for you, call the Pentagon.

I could swear I have seen tribal guys firing blowguns with their noses. Let see if I can link that.

Me too [bung], but I'm damned if I can find it.

I Googled for nasal blowpipes also, since I couldn't figure out why anyone would use their nose rather than their mouth. I didn't fine anything, but I did find the following:
"Never inhale back through a blowpipe when you have it up to a flame. You must use the nose to breathe in and use the blowpipe only for exhalation."
Perhaps this anno belongs under "Instructions on Everything"
