	: Even then, it does have one merit. It is an effective and very cheap training weapon. Good for reaction training too. For basic firing accuracy training, the gauss pistol does it better - just find an unarmed lobsterman and plink away at it at less the time it takes to empty the dart gun's entire clip. -[[User:NKF\|NKF]] 01:48, 6 April 2009 (EDT)		: Even then, it does have one merit.

			: I am normally rather open to the various weapons and acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses. Heck, I enjoy using UFO's [[Pistol]]. Just not the dart gun - I'd much rather reaction fire the Hydrojet on land than deliberately use the dart gun - to put it mildly.

	*vs Pistol - Firepower is a shocking '''one third''' vs the Pistol in both Snap and Aimed modes. Point-blank firepower is halved. One-hit-kill probability vs front armour of a Sectoid/Aquatoid is down from a respectable 0.35 (35%), to nil. Even the raw hit rate is down by over 40%, reducing its effectiveness as a training weapon. Much lower penetration (damage rating) ensures that its usefulness degrades much more quickly against armour than the Pistol.		*vs Pistol - Firepower is a shocking '''one third''' vs the Pistol in both Snap and Aimed modes.
