Stinging Scorpion

CACG Asset File
The "Stinging Scorpion" Dart Pistol is the short-ranged alternative to the "Spitting Cobra" Dart Rifle. While the Scorpion keeps the same overall role and tactical options as the Cobra, its handling has been specifically tailored for both accuracy and reliability at short distances, all while maintaining a small and easy to carry form factor. Like the Cobra, the Scorpion is chambered in CSCP 9mm rounds which can be filled with any liquid substance chosen by the user, be it poison, medicine, or lime soda.

Unlike the Cobra, the Scorpion only utilizes a black powder firing method, with an electromagnetic sling assembly being too heavy and unwieldy on the weapon's form factor. This is made up for by the Scorpion's shorter intended engagement distance and quicker draw, allowing for a user to draw from a holster and fire five shots in a mere three seconds.

As part of a whole "set" that makes up Reptile's loadout, the Scorpion synergizes exceptionally with the Cobra and Field Chemical Lab, with the Cobra making up for the Scorpions short range and the Scorpion making up for the Cobra's unwieldiness at short ranges. All the while, the FCL provides the capability to use local compounds or pre-prepared chemicals to mix and fill CSCP 9mm rounds for the two dart guns.
