Blowgun

From DwarfFortressWiki

Basically a small tube out of which you blow "deadly" darts.

No main race has this weapon, unless you mod it in. A dwarf can make a blowgun in a bowyer's workshop after being struck by a Strange mood. These weapons are extremely rare to find. Unfortunately in Fortress Mode you cannot create darts for use, and any dwarf wielding the blowgun will use it as a melee weapon.

The darts don't do a lot of damage, but can still be about as dangerous as arrows, because they can pierce organs.

When firing it increases the blowgunner skill. Melee with this weapon increases swordsman skill, even though it's attack is bludgeon.
