The Dart Gun features all of benefits of the [[X-COM]] standard issue [[Pistol]] used in the first alien war. As a pistol, the one handed grip allows the user to hold another item or weapon in the other hand without suffering an accuracy penalty. It is not accurate but makes up for this with by being a reasonably fast single-shot weapon. Best of all, it's the cheapest weapon in the arsenal.

All these qualities make it a suitable main weapon or side arm for an aquanaut with a specialized role such as a scout, grenadier, medic, heavy weapons specialist, etc.
The Dart Gun is cheap and features a one handed grip and is the fastest Snap fire weapon. Unfortunately it has one severe weakness: very low damage. Even physically weak aliens like the [[Aquatoid]]s will require a number of rounds before they succumb to the darts.  
Despite these benefits, the Dart Gun is the weakest of all the weapons. It is not capable of dealing much damage and often can not penetrate past the armour layer of many enemies. Only enemies with light armour and a near normal resistance to Armour Piercing Damage, such as the [[Aquatoid]] and [[Gillman]] will be effected by the darts. Even so, they are sufficiently resilient to the darts.  


Functionally, the Dart Gun is a reasonably good weapon, but the inability to do any damage to most enemies negates all of its good qualities. From a training standpoint it is an excellent - and cheap - weapon for training firing accuracy and reactions.  
Though quite ineffective for most combat purposes, the Dart Gun is a useful weapon for training firing accuracy and reactions due to its low stopping power. The Dart Gun can also be utilised as an early alternative to the [[Thermal Tazer]] for stunning aliens. While it still risks killing the subject, the lower damage allows for a more controlled application of damage as well as weapon inflicted [[Stun]] damage.

The Dart Gun is a low powered one-handed personal firearm that stores and fires 12 darts. It will function in any environment.

The Dart Gun is cheap and features a one handed grip and is the fastest Snap fire weapon. Unfortunately it has one severe weakness: very low damage. Even physically weak aliens like the Aquatoids will require a number of rounds before they succumb to the darts.

Though quite ineffective for most combat purposes, the Dart Gun is a useful weapon for training firing accuracy and reactions due to its low stopping power. The Dart Gun can also be utilised as an early alternative to the Thermal Tazer for stunning aliens. While it still risks killing the subject, the lower damage allows for a more controlled application of damage as well as weapon inflicted Stun damage.

This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Pistol.
