	The Toxigun is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, available upon the completion of Biological Warfare research. Not only do the toxins specifically target alien biologies, but Toxigun shots ~~can~~ pass through [[Personal Disruptor Shield]]s ~~without destroying them~~, ~~allowing them~~ to be recovered as a side benefit.		The Toxigun is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, available upon the completion of Biological Warfare research. Not only do the toxins specifically target alien biologies, but Toxigun shots pass through [[Personal Disruptor Shield]]s. This effectively increases toxigun damage against shielded enemies by a breathtaking amount, and allows the shields to be recovered intact as a side benefit. The only problem is that other agents without toxiguns will have to burn through the shield to help, so toxiguns don't combine very well with other weapons.

	The Toxigun has a very high rate of fire, but is coupled with a small ammunition capacity and moderate accuracy. This means that agents armed with the Toxigun can empty the gun very quickly without doing much damage if they are not careful. To conserve ammunition, make careful use of the gun by ~~aiming~~ or getting close to the target~~, carry a generous amount of ammunition~~ or ~~use~~ them in tandem with rechargeable weapons ~~to conserve their ammunition~~.		The Toxigun has a very high rate of fire, but is coupled with a small ammunition capacity and moderate accuracy. This means that agents armed with the Toxigun can empty the gun very quickly without doing much damage if they are not careful. To conserve ammunition, make careful use of the gun by using aimed shots (which are still quite rapid) or getting close to the target or using them in tandem with rechargeable weapons.

	~~Note that as~~ the toxin is designed to target aliens, the Toxigun will do damage comparable to the M4000 against human adversaries.		Because the toxin is designed to target aliens, the Toxigun will do damage comparable to the M4000 against human adversaries. The toxigun's ability to pierce shields means it is still a competitive weapon against shielded humans.
