Dart Gun

The dart gun is a silenced constructable small gun in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The dart gun fires darts that have been dipped in radscorpion venom. A hit anywhere on a target's body will instantly cripple the target's legs, making it extremely useful against fast melee opponents including deathclaws, Yao Guai, feral ghoul reavers, and super mutants. Surprisingly, the poison from the dart does affect radscorpions, however it does not hinder a radscorpion's speed as dramatically as it would that of another enemy.

The poison on the darts inflicts a decent amount of damage on a target for 8 seconds unless the target is non-organic, such as a robot. If the target is non-organic then the poison will do no additional damage. The poison damage effects of the dart stack; more darts in the target at once means the target will lose health at a faster rate. The dart gun is very effective for killing various "big game": shoot an enemy to cripple it, then run backwards, firing at the target (ideally with a more powerful weapon). Using this technique, it is possible to kill almost anything without taking any damage.

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 enemies.

Location
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 and increase the speed the darts are launched.

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. (Patched)
