Under-barrel Stimdart Launcher
The uncommon but highly effective under-barrel Stimdart launcher is designed to turn every soldier into a combat medic. This attachment, applied only to carbine and rifle-type weapons, consists of a smooth-bore barrel and an air-powered firing mechanism capable of firing life-saving Stimdarts over a short range. It has a built-in magazine that holds three Stimdarts. Aim the weapon at a comrade in trouble and push the button that will send a dart into his flesh, automatically releasing the medicine into his system. The launcher can be modified to carry more Stimdarts and to shoot further with a larger air cartidge. Replacement air cartridges cost 25 credits and is good for many shots (barring a Despair roll).

Stimdarts, a product of Chiewab, are functionally the same as single-use, auto-injecting Stimpacks but are designed to be administered via the under-barrel launcher and the stimdart pistol. In a pinch, Stimdarts can also be used on their own as a regular Stimpack. Price: 35 credits each.
