About the Blow Pipe
Loading the next shot takes 3 seconds, and switching to it takes 1 second. Aimed down the sights it has no spread at all, against 1° from the hip. Mounted in an Auto Turret, it deals 35% of its normal damage.
There are 4 kinds of ammo for it: Wood Dart, Incapacitate Dart, Radiation Dart and Scatter Dart. With the other ammo types, its damage per second is 5 for the Incapacitate Dart and 6.7 for the Radiation Dart. The Wood Dart flies faster, at 75 m/s against 55 m/s for the Incapacitate Dart, Radiation Dart and Scatter Dart. Each shot splits into pellets: the Scatter Dart fires 12 pellets of 5 damage each, while the Wood Dart, Incapacitate Dart and Radiation Dart fire a single projectile each.
From full condition it fires 400 shots with the Wood Dart before it breaks. Recycling it returns the Metal Pipe only by chance, 50% of the time.
