Abstract
A blow dart gun and darts for use therewith, the blow dart gun having movable grips and a single-piece quiver attached to the outer surface of an elongated tube. Shims are used to secure the movable grips and the single-piece quiver to the outer surface of the blow dart gun tube. At one end of the elongated tube is a mouthpiece having an inner tapered portion to prevent a dart from coming in contact with the mouth of a user. At the other end of the elongated tube is a hinged tube cover to protect the inside surface of the elongated tube during periods of non-use. Darts for use in the blow dart gun have a dart tip groove for easier removal from a target, a non-flanged rear portion, and threads to securely attach the dart tip to the remainder of the dart.
