This weapon has a tank filled with a drug which it flash-freezes into the shape of a needle as it shoots at a target at high velocity. Besides its obvious use as a non-lethal weapon, field medics have found it useful in delivering medicines to their own troops without leaving a protected position. Ammunition tanks may be switched to supply different drugs, and persons with chemistry skills often create their own varieties.
