One of the few traditional-looking firearms on the market that fires the 2.3mm x 15mm needle munition. The Goncz-Taurus takes full advantage of the small casing to maximize the number of rounds in the magazine. While most needleguns do this by using unique magazine designs, the Goncz-Taurus uses a standard handgrip magazine well with a 4-stack extra-long magazine.

Goncz-Taurus Operations NeedleGun

Developped for ESA security forces, the Operations model of the G-T NeedleGun is functionally identical to the baseline model, but has a slightly retooled receiver and the barrel has been extended slightly beyond the frame and is designed to accept a silencer or other screw-on accessory. It comes with a slightly longer magazine and a laser sighting system.

Uzi 2.3mm Needle Machine Pistol

Developed as a special operations weapon for Isreali and German special operations divisions, IMI initially was working on a handgun to deliver the high penetration 2.3mm needle rounds. In order to hold as many rounds as possible in the heavy magazine, they went for a heavy frame weapon.

The final design is a very effective machine pistol that is often equipped with a silencer for covert delivery of deadly toxic needle ammo.

CP2020 2.3mm Needle Ammo

Needle ammo comes in four basic types - light (1.5mm), medium (2.3mm) and heavy (3mm). Needle ammo is exceptionally long for the diameter and provides for exceptional penetration. All needle ammunition treats armor as 1/2 Stopping Power, but deals full damage after penetrating armor.

Needle ammunition is cased by default, because there is not enough room for the propellant behind the round without the use of a necked casing, making caseless needle rounds difficult if not impossible to develop.
