m ((I haven't undone the edit, just reworded it entirely but hit undone so editor can get a notif about it) reworded the entire bug to actually talk about the bug and not that the viewmodel changing also changes where the projectile comes from, that's normal)

The '''Syringe Gun''' is the default [[Weapons#medicprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a custom-built 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 {{tooltip|990 [[Hammer unit]]s|18.86 meters per second, 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 [[Compression blast|reflected]].

== Unused content ==
 
−
* In their initial testing of the Gold Rush 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 [[Ubersaw]] 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.
 
−
 
 
−
== Bugs ==
 
−
* The syringes in the client view can disappear if they (visually) hit an object such as a barrel or crate. This happens when your viewmodel's barrel (usually on lower viewmodel FOVs or with minimized viewmodels turned on) is visually blocked by an object. This only affects the client-side syringe models and they will still hurt enemies.
 
−
 
 
−
== Trivia ==
 
−
* The name and design of the Syringe Gun are based on real-life {{botignore|syringe guns}}, which are used to inject needles into patients with more control than by hand.
 
−
* In the weapon script file for the Syringe Gun, it uses the name “SuperSMG.”
 
−
** This may be a relic from early in ''Team Fortress 2'''s development, as early concept art shows Medic with a {{botignore|submachine gun}}.
 
−
** [[Scout]]’s [[Nail Gun]] originally used the [[SMG]] model as a placeholder, so it is also possible the name “SuperSMG” was used for a version of the [[Super Nailgun]] from [[Team Fortress Classic]], but with the SMG model.
