驴como se dice cerbatana en ingles?

How do you say "Cerbatana" in English? It is an indian weapon ,like a hallow cane where they put a poissoned dart and blow it towards the victim驴como se dice cerbatana en ingles?
A hollow tube that you blow poison darts from is called a "blowgun".驴como se dice cerbatana en ingles?
You seem to be describing what I would recognise as a "blowpipe" but if it is a particular type of blowpipe, or is only used by the people in a particular tribe or area, I would expect to learn to call it a "cerbatana".

It is the same with the "bolas" (South American)and the "woomera" (Native Australian); the native words are adopted because there is no exact,easily used equivalent.
