Dart shooter

Dart shooters were common place were stealth was key, designed to fool security systems with there discreetness. They were also favoured by citizens who felt the need to arm themselves inconspicuously. The weapon its self was very simple in design, using a high tension spring to launch a metal dart coated in nerve toxin. The palm weapons (such as the ‘’’Prax Arms Stealth 2VX’’’) had only a very short range of 3-4 metres, but as they were small it was easy to keep them concealed until the target was in range in the palm of the hand, it silence aided this greatly. Many dart shooters had the ability to carry 3 darts, while more could be easily stowed away in a false comlink or wristband. More typical dart shooters (like the ‘’’Prax Arms Protector PRP-502’’’) had a range of up to 10 metres, but were larger and less easily hidden, but had larger ammo capacity contained up to 6 darts, which could be rapidly released. The weapons themselves were only about 100g in weight. The darts were commonly only 5 cm long and could be coated in a variety of substances from stun chemicals to toxins which killed in 10 seconds.
