Maybe something like this:
This would be a very effective dart,
Always remember when hunting with a blowgun you want to have a cutting edge on your dart, just a simple pointed dart will never do as it will not create enough blood loss necessary to kill the animal. If hunting with a dart make sure you have a good cutting edge.

Here is a good example..............http://www.google.co...,r:16,s:0,i:135
a stun dart would've been more effective than this pin , and a broadhead dart would've been best

Maybe something like this:
I had very similar darts years ago and the flight was never quit right they also seemed so much slower with little penetration. just a note I was a teen age boy with little knowledge at the time.

Do yourself, the rabbits and the squirrels a big favor. Get an even cheaper blowgun at just about any hardware store. A ten foot piece of half inch electrical conduit is less than two dollars. Inside diameter is just a hair smaller than a Cold Steel Magnum. There is a good chance that they will cut it in half for free and you have two five foot big bores that are suitable for hunting rabbits or squirrels. An off-center cut will give you a four foot and six foot and increase the odds of your getting the size tube that best suits your abilities. A six foot conduit is too much pipe for me. A forty caliber is what people are using to give cute animals body piercings that have little more effect than the piercings that we get but raise a lot more eyebrows.
Another way to take this size game without the risk of animals parading the area wearing darts is to use a blunt tipped stun dart. I'd be glad to answer any questions you have about any of these suggestions.
