Description[edit]

A Murdoch Gun is a dart gun developed in East Sapphire as a non-lethal means of protection against local mega-fauna. The technology uses much the same mechanism for firing as an accelerator weapon, but the bore is larger, the missile velocity is lower and the payload is usually a drug-delivery system or tracking tag.

The guns use some of the light-weight bio-construction techniques used in construction of body-pistols, and are not easily detected by x-ray scans or metal detectors.
