The peashooter is a toy version of the blowgun or blowpipe. As the name suggests the normal ammunition are peas (usually dried), though other seeds, fruits, improvised darts, or wadded up paper can also be used. Another type of "peashooter" is made of either a finger from a rubber glove or a balloon attached to a tube or cap with a hole in it. The user simply pulls back the rubber device to fire it, similar to that of a slingshot.
