The '''Syringe Gun''' is the default primary weapon of the [[Medic]]. It is a bulky, experimental, pneumatic syringe launcher with a team-colored canister that launches team-colored syringes. | The '''Syringe Gun''' is the default primary weapon of the [[Medic]].

The Syringe Gun carries 40 syringe projectiles in a clip, dealing 10 damage each, and will rapidly fire in a stream. Unlike in Team Fortress 2, syringes deal slight knockback on enemies, have 25% decreased spread, are visually larger, and reload in 1.2 seconds instead of 1.5 seconds. The syringes are reasonably accurate at medium range, yet their slow speed and sharp gravity falloff makes it difficult to connect them with moving enemies. The Syringe Gun's damage ramp-up is limited to 120%, as opposed to the 150% of most weapons. It is significantly weaker than other weapons, including the Medic's own [[Bonesaw]], and so is best used as a deterrent against pursuing enemies rather than as a viable weapon. The syringes cannot be [[airblast|airblasted]] by an enemy [[Pyro]]. | The Syringe Gun carries 40 syringe projectiles in a clip, dealing 10 damage each, and will rapidly fire in a stream.

* Medical devices known as "syringe guns" do exist in real life, being a pistol-grip mechanism which holds a single-use syringe. There is also a related device known as a "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_injector jet injector]", which pneumatically injects liquids into patients. | * Medical devices known as "syringe guns" do exist in real life, being a pistol-grip mechanism which holds a single-use syringe.
