Poison[edit]

One such poison, aconite, could kill the victim before he even had time to open his mouth.

This sounds very dubious to me. While aconite is quite fast-acting, the prospect of a subcutaneous dose killing or even incapaciting the victim within a couple of seconds seems rather implausible. This claim needs either cites or removal. --Calair 02:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dart Length?[edit]

Unlike American style blowguns, the Fukiya has no mouthpiece: instead, users wrap their lips around the pipe. The darts used in the Fukiya were called Fukibari. Traditionally, fukibari are two inches in length. It consists of a 4 foot tube blowgun, with darts around 20cm (eight inches).
