PRP-502 hold-out dart shooter


The Protector PRP-502 hold-out shooter, a product of Prax Arms, was a compact and lightweight dart shooter intended for concealed carry. While its effective range was limited to approximately twenty-five meters, its design allowed it to be disassembled into four components, facilitating discreet transport and storage.

Description

The Protector PRP-502, crafted by Prax Arms, represented a standard example of a dart shooter. Its mechanism relied on a powerful internal spring to launch a dart at a designated target. This model was equipped with a six-dart clip, enabling a firing rate of one dart per three seconds. The weapon's sliding release lever allowed for swift clip changes, accomplished within a matter of seconds.

This weapon's maximum effective range extended to twenty-five meters, with an optimal range of ten meters. The Protector PRP-502 operated silently and was remarkably lightweight, registering only half a kilogram. Its lack of energy emitters or power cells made it readily concealable and difficult to identify. Moreover, the Protector PRP-502's ability to be separated into four distinct parts enhanced its concealability and allowed it to evade detection by security sensors. The weapon could be reassembled in under five seconds.
