Yep. People can just grab a syringe gun or an emagged hypo if they wanna go that route.
The tranq rifle serves a purpose; it's a niche, but important purpose. Succinctly: Countering drugged up and/or mutated horrors. It needs to stay that way. Just without the constant bleed, the brute, and the embedding. This also has the benefit of possibly-actually getting done since it's code shifting and line removal.
Honestly I didn't even know it embedded objects. Needing to scalpel out staples and darts is silly.
