Yes you can, but you would have to hold your breath and make sure that you exhale quickly, because underwater there is no oxygen. You will hear it but the projectile will not go as fast because the water will slow it down. You would not be able to fire another shot unless you supply your own oxygen or surface and inhale.

Yes, blowguns can be used underwater but the effectiveness of the shot will be reduced due to water resistance. The dart is likely to slow down and not travel as far or with as much force as it would above water.

What would happen if someone were to take a deep breath and try to use a blowgun on the moon Would they explode?

No, but he would become dizzy. However, you could hear the sound of a blowgun because of the sompressed air that follows the expulsion of the blowgun projectile. He will also be pushed back by the air of the blowgun exiting the barrel. As soon as someone takes off the space helmet the skin will immediately boil and freeze; longer exposure will result in unconsciousness and fatal death. So yes it is possible to shoot a blowgun on the moon but you will have to be really quick to exhale and put your helmet back on,otherwise you will notbe able to use the weapon in outer space.
