Guns that fire the Wood Dart

WeaponDamageHeadshotVelocityDamage per second
Blow Pipe50×1.575 m/s17

Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
