These are easy to make darts that take five minutes, no tools, and regular household materials.
Materials:
Nails (1 1/2" to 2" is optimal)
1/8" string or yarn
1/2" wide tape
These are easy to shoot with a 1/2" Sch 40 blowgun or just barrels on cannons. They are a perfect fit, are stable, have great penetration, and take about a minute each to make.
Don't shoot people.

thats sort of like one of the darts i made, i never got the pics to work and dont have any of the pics or the darts anmore but heres what it is: http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5110& theres also a link to another dart ive made on it wich is usually the kind i make they're really good
your idea looks pretty cool too, i think ill try making one of those myself 
EDIT: spudthug most darts will work in small cannons unless there really weak but his look pretty strong so i would say that his design would work great in cannon

| Just bump up the sizes for bigger bores, and yes, they'll be fine in cannons. I might make a couple for 1 1/2" barrels or some such size.

i have a good design, they are really strong, and have great penetration. if you have a big enough cone you could make them all the way up to 2". ill create a how-to in a bit
Edit: i sound like a lil bit of a prick

I prefer paper towels for feathers, I just cut a square,and stab the nail though
I can shoot them into plywood with a .5" ball valve gun at low presure
edit ooh I didint realize that you shot the box using the pipe as a blowgun, thats pretty good

It's nice to use blowguns, it's a nice gun with dart.

Blow gun is a amazing tool for enjoying extra pleasure in indoors and also in outdoors while in a trip to tropical forest.
This is a really handy tip for making blowgun darts in own hand. But for professional look and get the full pleasure I recommend premier branded blow gun with darts from Weapons Universe Corporation. They made high quality and different shaped blowguns utilizing the finest components available including T6061 aircraft grade aluminum.
There are also many color options for different size of blowguns.
