== History ==
=== Dart gun ===
A dart gun is a non-lethal capture tool. It works by firing a dart (a needle tipped ballistic syringe; usually 50. cal) loaded with a drug. The type of drug used is most commonly a sedative, but sometimes other drugs such as medications and antidotes are substituted. The dart is normally fired using compressed gas, but there are variations. The needle of the dart normally has a cap to hold the drug in the syringe. When the needle punctures the target's skin, the cap is broken and the drug is administered into the target. The dart can drive the injection upon impact using gas compression, explosive charge or a gas evolution reaction. In the process with the pressure released, so is the drug.Dart guns are used in the real world on animals to: ensure safe capture, take blood samples, as well as deliver vaccines and antibiotics. Common drugs used are: Azaperone, Combelen, Domosedan, Dormicum, Detomidine, Fentanyl, Carfentanyl, Etorphine hydrochloride, Haloperidol, Immobilon, Ketamine, Valium (Diazepam), Xylazine, Sodium thiopental, vaccines, and various antibiotics.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dart_gun
Dart guns are used to capture abnormals by Sanctuary Network teams and Specified Counter-Insurgency Unit teams.
==== Glock 17 RAM ====
The Glock 17 RAM is to be added.
	:What appears to be a Glock 17 Real Action Marker (paintball gun) is used by Will Zimmerman against Chad Spencer. It is likely that the reason for this was that the gun was fired very close to an actor's head, and the compressed air action of this type of weapon means that the action cycles, recoil is created, and a blast of air is created with minimal risk to the actor due to lack of pyrotechnics.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#Glock_17_RAM The gas cartridge can be seen protruding from the bottom of the magazine in this frame, where the blast of air created from firing blows Chad Spencer's hair.
==== Tranquilizer rifle ====
The tranquilizer rifle appears to be one of three models of the highly popular danject dart rifles, of which there are multiple models. The danject tranquilizer or dart rifles are used in the real world to capture animals with minimal risk to human and animal. They work by using one of two methods of propulsion depending upon the model; they either use compressed CO2 or a small explosive charge the former of which often has variable pressure valves to adjust the pressure as required.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#.22Tranquillizer_Rifle.22
	:This tranquilizer rifle appears to actually be based on a paintball gun. The Specified Counter-Insurgency Unit agent on the left is carrying the tranquilizer rifle. This agent uses the tranq rifle to repeatedly shoot the already subdued Captured Abnormal with an excessive amount of four additional tranq darts. This was in addition to the single tranq bullet shot by the Old City Sanctuary team that originally took the creature down.
==== Webley Tempest Air Pistol ====
Webley Tempest air pistols are occasionally used by Sanctuary personnel to shoot tranquilizer darts to capture abnormals.
	:Helen Magnus uses a Webley Tempest air pistol to shoot Alexei.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#Webley_Tempest_Air_Pistol
	:Declan MacRae and Will Zimmerman both use Webley Tempest air pistols against the runaway Mob Empath. They are unexpectedly interrupted by The Adjuster intervening; who 'saves' the empath from the Sanctuary team.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#Webley_Tempest_Air_Pistol
=== Mk 2 Grenade ===
The Mk 2 grenade is to be added.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_2_grenade
	:Mk 2 hand grenades can be seen on the webbing, and being used by, a number of U.S. soldiers.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#Mk_2_hand_grenade Captain Jack Zimmerman carries a pair of Pineapple grenades on his webbing. Captain Jack Zimmerman prepares to throw a Pineapple grenade at a cluster of German soldiers.
=== Taser ===
A taser gun is an electroshock weapon designed to incapacitate an individual. This is done so by firing two barbs attached to the ends of two long, thin wires into the target and upon trigger, an electric current passes 50,000 volts of electricity along the wires through the barbs and into the target. This disrupts the nerves and causes the tasered individual to drop to the floor in pain and discomfort.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser
	:After ambushing Ashley Magnus and Sylvio Rudd at an eastside warehouse, and trouncing Ashley in a hand-to-hand fight, John Druitt is tasered by Sylvio Rudd, causing him to collapse to the concrete floor.
==== Advanced Taser M26 ====
The Advanced M26 Taser was the predecessor to the taser X26. The taser M26 fires two barbs up to 35 feet, but is not accurate at this distance. Taser works by targeting the nervous system using a electric shock of 50,000 volts to incapacitate a subject for a matter of mere seconds, normally five to seven seconds. Un real life they do not however knock out a subject, the subject is simply unable to move temporarily; the knocking out of a subject is merely a film and tv effect done for dramatic purposes.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon_Enterprise#History
	:One of the hijackers uses an Advanced Taser M26 in the contact mode (absence of the stun cartridge) to stun Kate Freelander. Note that this weapon does seem to use a slightly different color scheme to the regular M26, so it is possible that this is a replica of some sort or has been modified.https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Sanctuary#Advanced_Taser_M26
