# Needles (50) *Ammunition* - **Cost**: 1 gp - **Weight**: 1.0 lbs. Blowgun needles are used with a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition.

Needles are typically stored in a [Pouch](3-Mechanics/CLI/items/pouch-xphb.md) (bought separately). *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 222*
