The Syringe Gun is the primary weapon for the Medic class. It is a gas propelled gun with an odd shape and trigger.

Syringes are fired out of the weapon at 10 syringes per second. These are classed low-damage projectiles that travel at 990 Hammer units per second (about 42 miles per hour). 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

Alternate image angle
  • In their initial testing of the Medic 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 Übersaw 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, as seen to the right.
  • The Syringe Gun's model never runs out of needles, even if the ammunition is depleted.
  • Similarly, the reload animation adds no needles, but a new air cartridge in the back.
  • Although the Syringe Gun isn't a hitscan weapon, it can remove sticky bombs laid by an enemy Demoman.
