Description
Manufactured by Prax Arms, the Protector PRP-502 was a typical model of dart shooter. It used a high-tension spring within its design to propel a dart towards a target. The Protector PRP-502 was loaded with a clip of six darts, and a dart could be fired every three seconds. Clips could be changed in seconds using the weapon's sliding release lever.[1]
The weapon had a maximum range of twenty-five meters, and an optimum range of ten meters. The Protector PRP-502 was noiseless in its operation, and was exceptionally light,[1] weighing only half a kilogram.[2] It was easily concealable and hard to detect as it had no energy emitters or power cells. Furthermore, the Protector PRP-502 could be broken into four separate pieces, allowing it to be hidden and to avoid being detected by security sensors. Reassembly of the weapon could be achieved in less than five seconds.[1]
