DESCRIPTION​

The Syringe Pistol was designed by a shady and unsavory 'doctor' on Nar Shaddaa as a pet project, after finishing the design and having tested it and pleased, the plans for this weapon were sold to the black market for Hutt peggats, which ended up with these weapons circulating around the black markets here and there as various manufacturers gotten hold of the plans. These are an unusual and niche weapons, so they are a bit rare, but they are effective in what they do.

The Syringe Pistol is made up of a plastoid shell, mounting a small tank holds the substances that would flow into the syringes mounted inside the weapon. The tank itself by default contains a fast-acting sedative for humans or near-humans, on par with a medium stun bolt when injected to a target via syringe. The metal tips syringes can pierce through clothing no problem, but are ineffective against armor. It is possible for someone to overdose if the target is repeatedly injected with too much of this sedative though.

The syringe pistol also has it's own larger steel needle affixed below the syringes are at, the user of this weapon could jab them and inject the weapon's loaded substance into the unfortunate victim.

Instead of the the normal sedative formula meant for humans/near-humans, there are also similar sedatives that are tailored to other specific alien physiology one could use instead. The syringe pistol could be also be instead loaded with other solutions, such as poisons (would need a separate write-up). The Syringe Pistol also fires it's ammo up to 20 meters and barely makes any sound, making it versatile and something to consider for stealth.

To reload, the new syringes need to be inserted in at the barrel. A tank of a syringe substance can also fuel 14 syringes before it needs to changed out as well.

LEGALITY​

Illegal in civilized systems, even more so if used with any illegal poisons.

INTENT​

To give the site what I think could be an interesting weapon. It's basically a pistol version of the dart-launcher armor function but with a few twists to make it different enough. It could serve well for a stealth weapon, could also see potential for espionage plots or other sneaky stuff (like poisoning a high-value target, being a 'silenced' weapon .etc)

RESTRICTIONS​

The weapon is loaded with the human/near-human sedative by default, any other substances inside would need to be stated in the OP or in the character profile. Any other poisons or harmful substances used with this weapons need to have their own write-ups (like this), and the restrictions of those write-ups need to be followed.
