Poison-tipped Darts

There were many uses for poison-tipped darts. These darts could be held by a ninja’s lips during a fight, so that he would be able to spit them into his opponent’s face when he wasn't expecting it. Or, if a female ninja was in disguise, she could hide the darts in her hair and then stick them into the intended victim while they were unaware. They very useful to kill someone if you wished to leave no mark. Because they were so tiny, they leave only a small pinprick that would be very hard to find. While using them with your hands could be helpful, with a blowgun you were able to hit the target at a much greater range and at a much greater speed. They were able to be shot at around two hundred miles per hour by someone who was experienced with them.
