Make the tranquilizer rifle less lethal

[APARTHEID]

Eh, why not just change the ammunition container so that it shoots a projectile that only injects what is shot? A needle that deletes itself after inserting its payload into the player container?

The .308 condition shouldn't be removed, though, as you're really going to have to go out of your way to go get those rounds, in all honesty. Ergo,

I would just do what I suggested in the original post: Remove bleeding and projectile embedding, and greatly reduce brute damage. That would change it from "Ultra-deadly murder weapon" to "Nonlethal anti-fun gun".
