The Steyr-Mannlicher ACR rifle was a prototype flechette-firing assault rifle built for the US Army's Advanced Combat Rifle program of 1989–90. [citation needed] A variation of the flechette addressing its difficulties is the SCMITR, developed as part of the Close Assault Weapon System, or CAWS, project. Selective-fire shotguns were used to ...
Charles A. Senseney testified that he was a project engineer of the M-1 dart launcher that was described as resembling a M1911 pistol with a sight mount at the top. Senseney claimed the M-1 was designed for the US Army Special Forces to be used in the Vietnam War but never got there due to not being able to get into the US Army's logistics ...
EXACTO models on existing .50 BMG ammunition and rifles instead of needing new hardware, which the Sandia guided dart would need. Although EXACTO is specifically focused on military applications, Sandia is seeking to make commercial sales of their guided sniper projectile.

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).
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. A type of dart still finds use in military engagements, in the form of flechettes. These are all-metal projectiles, often resembling nails that have had fletching (rather than nail heads) forged into them.
The start of the development of the SAC-46 was first documented in 1943 and the basic development of a weapon of this kind went on with low priority. [2] In February 1945 operational examples of the SAC-46 were requested for an actual OSS mission and a first batch of six guns was manufactured in April 1945 by the Long Engineering and Research Company.

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".
