Dosj'aa needle gun

Dosj'aa needle guns were the primary ranged weapon employed by the Dosj'aa Alliance. Based on magnetic principles, the guns would accelerate durasteel needles to high velocity. Some guns were modified to be able to also fire toxic needles that would only incapacitate the target instead of killing it.

Variants
The smallest type of needle gun employed by the Dosj'aa was the hand gun. Small and concealable, it would fire three needles in a burst for every trigger pull. These were the only weapons carried by Alliance commanders.

Standard issue for Dosj'aa soldiers was the combat rifle. These weapons could be switched from the standard triple needle burst to a fully automatic stream of needles with a flick of a switch. However this mode drained the guns power cells incredibly fast.

The sniper rifle was a longer version of the combat rifle. It did not have the full auto mode of the combat version, and fired heavier needles with longer range and more penetrating power.
