Blowgun Rocket Challenge Blowgun is a primitive weapon used mainly against small game and birds. Some people in the interior regions of Malaysia and the Philippines use blowguns as do Indians of the Amazon region in South America. A blowgun is made up of a tube usually from bamboo, and a projectile. The projectiles are commonly slender arrows or wooden splinters with a cone, and cotton wrapped around the base. This wooden splinter is propelled by a puff of breath from the mouth.
Participants have to construct blowgun rockets and then launch their creations.
