Dart Gun

Dart Gun is a small guns craftable pistol in Fallout 3.

The Dart Gun fires darts that have been dipped in a radscorpion's poison gland. A hit from the dart gun will instantly cripple the target's legs, making it extremely useful against fast melee opponents like Deathclaws, though it seems to be less useful against Giant Radscorpions, even though their legs are crippled by the poison.

The poisonous darts inflict decent damage on the target for 8 seconds. The poison is ineffective against non-organic enemies like robots. Also, poison damage effects stack; more darts in the target at once means faster loss of health.

Schematics Locations
You will need to obtain schematics to build this gun.


 * A schematic can be obtained from Hannibal Hamlin for completing the Lincoln Memorial quest for the slaves.
 * A schematic is at the Boutique Le Chic in Tenpenny Tower.
 * A schematic can be found at the MDPL-05 Power Station.
 * A schematic can be found on a body in one of the pits located between Oasis and Clifftop Shacks, it is guarded by a wounded Deathclaw.

Trivia
A quick note: it appears to be launched as a cross bow, not with pneumatics. Because of this, the paint gun would seem irrelevant. The paint gun may be used to apply poison to each dart before it is fired (As see by the hand-drawn poison logo on the paint gun's bottle). It may however also be required for its trigger assembly.

Items Needed to Create
Once you have the schematics, you will need a workbench and one each of the following items:
 * Paint Gun
 * Toy Car
 * Surgical Tubing
 * Radscorpion Poison Gland
