MAO PAX-22 Dart Rifle

The PAX-22 Dart Rifle is a pneumatic rifle produced by Military Arms of Ostrava that fires darts tipped with a hypodermic needle. These needles are typically loaded with a dose of tranquilizer solution, such as Narcoject, and used to incapacitate animals for capture or study.

The PAX-22 is a single-shot, breech-loading design that is powered by an HPA (High Pressure Air) tank attached just forward of the rifle's receiver. Being pneumatically powered, the PAX-22 is virtually silent.

The PAX-22's 13mm darts can be loaded with any injury-vector poison. If an attack deals enough damage to bypass the target's Armor (regardless of whether or not the target is Shaken by the attack), or the wielder makes a Called Shot to an unarmored portion of the target's body, the target is exposed to the poison.

The PAX-22 comes standard with a top-mounted slide mount. Due to the presence of the HPA tank, the rifle does not have an Under modification slot.
