The Syringe Gun is the default primary weapon for the Medic. It is an oddly-shaped air-powered gun. Mounted on top of the weapon is a transparent cylindrical case filled with syringes, from which the projectiles it fires are apparently derived.
Syringes are fired out of the weapon at a rate of ten syringes a second, at the speed of 990 Hammer units. The syringes follow an arced trajectory, making it necessary to lead a moving target and aim upward to compensate for distance. The Syringe Gun is reasonably accurate when the trajectory is taken into account and has a moderate damage falloff with distance. Despite being projectiles, syringes cannot be reflected.

Trivia
- The name and weapon design are based on real-life syringe guns, which are used to inject needles into patients with more control than by hand (and are often air-powered).
- In their initial testing of the Gold Rush update, Valve added 3 items to the game's files. These were later removed as part of the Mann-Conomy Update. The secondary and melee weapons use the Kritzkrieg and Ubersaw images respectively, but with the names and stats of the standard weapons. However, the Syringe Gun image was that of the standard weapon with a different angle.
- In the weapon script file for the Syringe Gun, it uses the name “SuperSMG.”
- Medic was planned to have an SMG, as seen by concept art.
- Scout’s Nail Gun originally used the SMG model as a placeholder, so it is likely the name “SuperSMG” was made with the intention of being a version of the Super Nailgun from Team Fortress Classic, but with the SMG model.
- One of Medic's taunt voicelines is 'Oops, that was not medicine!', indicating that the syringes may be filled with poison. This is unconfirmed however.
