Needler Pistol

A needler pistol is a handgun that uses an upright disk clip. It makes only a very soft, coughing noise when it it fired. Needler pistols magnetically propel a cluster of needles at high speed. Two types of needles can be used: barbed neeldes that cause 2d10 points of damage per shot, and anesthetic needles that cause only 1d10 points of damage but can put the victim to sleep for d100 turns. An individual can resist the anesthetic by passing a current Stamina check. Needles will not penetrate skeinsuits or Inertia Screens. Neither the suit, screen nor individual is damaged.
