Not by mouth; you cannot breathe in the vacuum of space. If you were to provide a compressed air source, then you could use a blowgun much like you might fire a CO2 pellet gun.

In theory, it might be possible to create a "force field" that would restrict the flow of air across a barrier, but not prevent larger material items from passing through. Such "force fields" are a common staple of Science Fiction stories and TV programs, but at present they are strictly in the realm of fantasy. But many fantastical concepts have come to pass in the last 100 years. So it is possible, given a spacecraft with a force field, that you would be able to shoot a blowgun dart into space - but you cannot fire one IN space.

Can a Blowgun be fired in outer space?

Yes but only with an external air supply.


Can a blowgun be fired in space by quickly exhaling air and then putting your air helmet back on and would you hear anything at all?

Yes you can but your lungs will quickly rupture due to the sudden pressure difference in outer space. A Blowgun can be heard in space however as soon as you take off your space helmet to exhale air your blood will boil in 10 seconds and as a result you'll suffer from air embolisms and sudden explosive decompression almost immediately. So yes it is possible to use a Blowgun in space provided that you exhale quickly in 5 seconds and have an extra supply of oxygen available and at the same time closing your eyes to avoid bursting eyeballs. All of this must be done by the time you open your space helmet and put the blowgun to your mouth and fire otherwise you definitely will die instantly. The sound will be similar to a burp or exhaling air from your nostrils as you fire the weapon in space.


What would happen if someone were to take a deep breath and try to use a blowgun on the moon Would they explode?

No, but he would become dizzy. However, you could hear the sound of a blowgun because of the sompressed air that follows the expulsion of the blowgun projectile. He will also be pushed back by the air of the blowgun exiting the barrel. As soon as someone takes off the space helmet the skin will immediately boil and freeze; longer exposure will result in unconsciousness and fatal death. So yes it is possible to shoot a blowgun on the moon but you will have to be really quick to exhale and put your helmet back on,otherwise you will notbe able to use the weapon in outer space.

How can i aim my blowgun accurately?

Usually you aim a weapon with one eye closed, however, this is not the case with a blowgun to aim the a blowgun look down the barrel of the gun and cross your eyes the center of the space between the two blowguns you see is were the dart will it, you also have to compensate for distance by aiming slightly above or below the barrel of the two blowguns hope this helps, dont do anything illegal :D
