Dart Gun

The dart gun is a small guns constructable pistol in Fallout 3.

Building
It is built from a paint gun, toy car, radscorpion poison gland, and surgical tubing. The paint gun serves as the framework for the gun, containing the launch mechanism for the darts, and the paint can which contains the radscorpion venom. The surgical tubing launches the darts and is attached to the toy car's wheels in order to propel the darts smoothly.

Characteristics
The dart gun fires darts that have been dipped in radscorpion venom. A hit, anywhere on a target's body, from the dart gun will instantly cripple the target's legs, making it extremely useful against fast melee opponents like Deathclaws, Yao Guai, feral ghoul reavers, and super mutants. Surprisingly it also affects radscorpions. However, it does not hinder a radscorpion's speed as dramatically as other enemies, presumably because they are resistant to their own 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. But the real use of the dart gun is for various big game, dart them, then jog backwards and you can take apart anything without getting hurt.

The dart gun is treated as a silenced weapon. This combined with its 0 spread (perfect accuracy when shot at 100 Small Guns) makes it a good sneak-sniping weapon against raiders, Yao Guai etc.

The dart gun can fire 828 darts before breaking.

Appearances
The dart gun only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If you crouch while having the dart gun equipped, the rod on the back of the paint gun component will constantly move back and forth (as if you were reloading). This only happens when viewing your character in 3rd person.
 * Sometimes while you're firing the dart gun, the surgical tubing (which is the part of the weapon in the schematics that shoots out the Dart) just stays there and it looks that the dart itself shoots from the weapon. Also when you're reloading, the pulling part of the weapon had already been pulled and the dart that supposed to been shot is still there. There's no interference on any condition to the weapon but it looks odd.
