- Tracking ammo: Miniature trackers cover the barbs, along with numbing agents. Once the barb hits its target, and embeds itself, precise location data will be sent to a linked Datapad. Numbing agents stop targets noticing the barbs, and if they are noticed, many trackers will be left inside the wound when the barn is removed.
Description: The X-5 Ecto-Track rifle is a powerful rifle, created to aid in bringing down targets stealthily. It contains poison darts, that can be fired over long distances, and quickly kill an unarmoured target. It was developed under the orders of Werah Unon, and has been successfully used in many field tests. It is very quiet, to allow for stealthy attacks, and can have a scope attached, in order to increase accuracy. Unlike its cousin, the X-4, the X-5 has got twin ammo feeds, that can be switched between, by pressing a button at the top of the rifle. The second type of ammo, is a special type, designed to aid in tracking targets. The darts are coated with miniature trackers, that use the GPS(Galactic Positioning Network), to find the exact location of themselves, and upload it, via a secure frequency, to a Datapad. The barbs stock into the target, and a numbing agent blocks out any pain from the hit. The dart will then break up, as soon as the trackers enter the bloodstream. The trackers can last up to 3 days, before they degrade, and can function over any distance. The rifle itself is sturdy and made to last, and can be carried around easily.

Hi [member="Werah Unon"]! I will be reviewing this submission.

Material: Modified splinter knives

• You'll want to remove this from the material field and place that in just the ammunition type.

Weight: 9kg

• 9kg for a dart gun is a bit heavy. Very heavy, in fact, especially considering it isn't a slugthrower. You may want to reduce this a little bit, but it's up to you.

Effective Range: 200-250m

• This should simply list the maximum effective range of the weapon, though 250m for a dart gun is about 220m more than the longest tranquilizer gun I can find. (And no Star Wars Wiki I can find lists a range.) The source darts themselves are listed at 20m thrown, so I'd be willing to work with this and go a bit higher than 30m, but I wouldn't be okay with anything higher than 50m without dev.

Edited the first two.

How much Dev is necessary for that range?

To be honest it's not something entirely worrisome given the lack of times range is calculated in RP. 10 posts for limited production is fine. 20 for minor.

 

[Werah Unon]

Ok, I'll go for limited.
I'll start a Dev thread.
