A dart gun is an air rifle that fires a dart.[1] The dart is tipped with a hypodermic needle and filled with a sedative,[2] vaccine[3] or antibiotic.[4] A dart gun containing a sedative is called a tranquillizer gun (also spelled tranquilizer gun, tranquilliser gun or tranquiliser gun), derived from the word "tranquil", which means "calm".
