.40 CALIBER BLOWGUNS

.40 caliber blowguns and accessories are the most popular blowguns - perfect for beginners.   This caliber blowgun replaced the old .38 caliber blowguns.  Manufacturers make the most product for this caliber.

• .40 caliber blowguns are 3/8"

If you're not sure what size your blowgun is, measure the inside wall of the blowgun - inside wall to wall.  Darts are not interchangeable.  You can only chose the darts and accessories for the blowgun you have chosen. 

The two most popular styles of the .40 caliber blowguns we sell are the deluxe and standard style.  The differences between those blowguns are basically what comes on the blowgun.  The deluxe blowgun has more of the most popular darts on it and will save you some money with the added accessory pieces.  The standard style gives you the opportunity to add your own product to it.

• .40 CALIBER DELUXE: Each one-piece deluxe style blowgun comes with a standard mouthpiece, one Q8 quiver, one Q16 quiver, four Q10 quivers, one 4" grip, two dart guards, one muzzle guard, one black sling, twelve target darts, ten broadhead darts, ten spearhead darts, and eight stun darts.
• .40 CALIBER STANDARD: Each one-piece standard style blowgun comes with a standard mouthpiece, one Q8 quiver, 8 stun darts, 12 target darts, one Q16 quiver, one dart guard, one 4" grip, one muzzle guard.
