At first blush, this seems ok. (And I have always wanted a Narcoject
Dart weapon that could do Autofire.)

How would you deal with the situation of partial dosage then, say from

And also, would it be possible to get toxins in a more concentrated
form, allowing for more than one dose per drug-dart or splat of DSMO
gel?
