The Lawless Hypo Gun is named for its designer, Henry Lawless. The Hypo gun fires a 1mm x 10mm needle at high velocity with a burst of compressed gas. Each magazine holds 25 darts, and the the gas canister holds enough gas for 50 shots. The darts are designed to inject liquids upon contact with a body and the needle itself dissolves harmlessly in water or bodies. Needles with various strength anesthetizing compounds are generally available. It is almost completely silent, and made of no metal parts.

The weapon is unlawful for possession at Law level 3 or greater due to its undetectability.
