Why was derringers nerfed?
#22
Yes, currently patches are now the most efficient method of applying touch chems, especially since the changes to spray bottles and applying chems from beakers, though specially formulated iv mixes can still be better.

Armour calculations aside, here are my thoughts on possible ways to go with the derringer:

It is absolutely an assassination weapon, and a disposable one at that. What i suggest is that, owing to the type of weapon it is and the method in which it is used, that it do a variable amount of damage whilst also keeping the damage falloff. I suggest a point blank derringer would therefore do anywhere from 65-100 damage per shot regardless of armour or protection. Also, the stun would be slightly longer on lower damage shots and shorter on higher damage ones.

This to me, makes the weapon more fun and risky to use, rather than an almost guaranteed 2 shots 1 kill.

On the subject of radbows- i think the damage falloff should be much more significant, because what sort of range could a tiny crossbow you can hide in your pocket have? Perhaps a slight decrease in Gy delivered, but not by much.
