This means it is easy to get in the city (harder in the wilderness) and nearly free to use\r\n* Suffers from momentum drop, meaning the darts fall to the ground rather quickly\r\n* You can use it with a gas mask on with no reduction in anything\r\n* Even if it poisoned enemies on wounding, it would most likely be nearly useless in vast majority of cases. It could only be useful against non-brute shockers in the middle of the night, due to their thin skin and dangerous attacks"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/comments/193071798","html_url":"https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/15403#issuecomment-193071798","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/15403","id":193071798,"user":{"login":"kevingranade","id":860276,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/860276?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade","html_url":"https://github.com/kevingranade","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-07T03:11:22Z","updated_at":"2016-03-07T03:11:22Z","body":"The blowgun would need a flag like \"breath activated\", and the firing code in ranged.cpp would need to check for that flag and then check for mouth encumbrance if it's present.\r\nProbably both should get more dispersion, blowgun darts aren't particularly finely stabilized (usually just a flag or other small piece that adds drag to the back, in addition to acting as a wad for air pressure to push against in the tube), and blowgun tubes don't have the tolerances that most ranged weapons have, or a design that makes the tolerances moot, like a bow."}}
