A tranquilizer gun is an air rifle that fires a cartridge filled with a tranquilizing agent. It is considered a non-lethal form of weapon used for subduing prey. The dart, usually .50 caliber, is a ballistic syringe loaded with a solution and tipped with a hypodermic needle. The dart is propelled from the gun by compressed gas, and it is stabilized in flight by a tailpiece consisting of a tuft of fibrous material. The needle may be plain or collared, with a barb-like ring to improve retention of the needle and syringe to assure that the full dose is administered.
On the "Bird Woman" episode of Wellington Paranormal, Officer Parker brought a tranquilizer gun to the top of the Brooklyn Wind Turbine to assist fellow officers O'Leary, Minogue and Sergeant Maaka from a nesting birdwoman. Being a clumsy oaf, Parker accidentally shot Maaka, Minogue and then himself with the gun. [1]
