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, Yao Guai and Sledgehammer wielding Super Mutants, 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. But the real use of the dartgun is for various big game, dart them, then jog backwards and you can take apart anything without getting hurt.

Schematics Locations

 * 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.

Trivia
A quick note: it appears to be launched as a cross bow, not with pneumatics. The paint gun works as the trigger and as storage for the radscorpion venom.
