Dart guns are devices designed to shoot small, lightweight projectiles called darts. These darts can be made from various materials, including plastic and foam, and are often used in recreational activities, such as games and competitions. Dart guns can be powered by springs, air pressure, or other mechanisms, allowing for different ranges and velocities. In addition to recreational use, dart guns are also employed in scientific and veterinary applications. For example, tranquilizer darts are used to safely immobilize animals for research or medical treatment. Overall, dart guns serve both entertainment and practical purposes across various fields.
