These are launched from a dart gun using compressed gas, a tuft of fibers at the back of the missile serving as both fletching and wadding.

Further development continued by adapting a Winchester Model 70 rifle with new XM110 5.6x53mm rounds firing a single dart. The result was a weapon with somewhat less accuracy than the .308Win ( 7.62×51mm NATO ) rounds, but with equal penetration and a trajectory so flat it could be fired with no sight adjustment out to 400 yards (370 m).
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.

The ammunition for the gun is a dart made of transparent red plastic with a metal tip and a rubber gasket at the base of the tip.
