The Syringe Gun is the default primary weapon for the Medic. It is a custom-built stylized gun that uses air pressure to fire syringes from a transparent cylindrical case.
The weapon fires syringes at a rate of ten per second, with a velocity of 990 Hammer units (approximately 18.86 meters or 61.88 feet) per second. The syringes are subject to gravity as they travel, making it necessary to lead moving targets and aim upward to compensate for distance. The Syringe Gun is reasonably accurate when the trajectory is taken into account, but the extremely slow speed of the projectiles makes it ineffective outside of close range. Unlike most other projectiles, syringes cannot be reflected.
