But, shooting "instant stimpak heal!" via a gun? One doesn't need to be a wise guy to know that this sounds ridicolous, really. :-\

So what? It doesn't have to be 100% 95% related to fallout has it? We can build miniguns out of scrap you know. And the idea isn't bad at all.
just give the person who receives hp a chance for the weakened status, and yes the fun part is. That chance is related to the shooters fa/doc skill.

Read the "official" needler gun and ammo description. Technology is already available. And stop thinking about "whats real" and start thinking "whats good for the game". You see in TF they did not give a fuck about gun that shoots healing beams or needles, it was good choice how to create healing class so they did it. Same with space ships that shoot "magical" repairing beams to each other etc. Fantasy games have it easier with this, they just create spells for priests and they are done.
So its not the idea of long range healing (and this is just one example of execution, someone might think of something better) that is ridiculous here but imho the most ridiculous thing is that the medic serves as crafter in this game, nothing more. His Fa/doc skills mean nothing in combat and everyone rellyes on superstimpacks. Closest thing you get to medic in the field is powerbuilder that tagged FA to get it to 120%. But with this, medics could become new factor that can decide the outcome of the battle.

I know that the needler was purposed as a scientific research item back in time before the war, so no reason to be a smartass. ;)
No, I just mean it would be out of pleace. I mean - "shooting healing"? Stimpaks aren't just insta heal things , one has to look actually at which body part it is injected. Also, really, just imagine this, it's just silly imagining shooting stimpaks over the map. I agree with your main idea in making doctors more useful and total agree with this, but not in making the needler gun a more better thing that it is already.

I think I'm gonna have to go with Sius on this. The description makes it clear that there's a possibility. Another thing is the possibilities this weapon has which aren't limited to medics. I don't see why shooting stimpaks is any more ridiculous than using a tranquilizer gun. The needler pistol opens up poison ammo, healing ammo, and tranquilizers for slavers if there's a way to make this reasonable(Like a 95% fail rate if your enemy isn't in yellow/red hp and a successful hit would be the equivalent of a knockout). I think shooting drugs at people could be cool, but I see it being abused more than anything, like people shooting others with psycho just to try to get them addicted instead of for a battle-oriented purpose.

1st of all I was pointing out that the technology is already there and its no voodoo but its something "real" for Fallout universum. Just compare any energy pistol/rifle with this idea. What seems more crazy: the weapon that can deliver drugs inside small hypodermic or weapon that can fire red laser projectile or create and shoot plasma? So don't bring the ridiculous or not real arguments here, since compared to other FOnline and Fallout gadgets they fail more than this.
2nd I think leg can be the ultimate injection area but anything should do the job (except those aimed shots to head/eyes/groin). I wonder why somebody did not bring the armor argument where they will try to shus this idea because projectile would not penetrate armors such as PA/CA/Metal etc... Again "game>reality" and that should be always the aim, not vice versa.
3rd needler gun is useless. Its good for killing molerats but thats about it. + using the gun for healing purposes would be available ONLY FOR MEDICS. People without profession/skills would fail using it. Its protective measure so we wont see sniper powerbuilds that switch to needler to heal his BG friend. It should be restriced only for those who role medics.

Thats why I stick to stimpacks only in my idea. Anything else like poison, paralyzing stuff, drugs and so on is just an extra thought. Anyway afaik others can't drug you with negative drugs like jet/psycho etc...
