Ok so as a runner my GM pulled this trick out on me and I just kind of feel it was a little annoying. We got jumped by two guys with guns one had a submachine gun the other had an Ares Predator. The guy with the machine gun got gibed before he could act but the other guy surprised me so he shot me twice. However I knew that my reaction sucked so I was wearing more than enough armor. (Something akin to 15 or so) However the pistol is loaded with capsule rounds packing Narcojet mixed with DMSO. This means that I have to soke 10 damage twice with a body of 5 and I only take 16 stun so I don’t die out right but I drop like a sack full or door knobs.

Is this right? If it works like that then why bother using anything other than a hold out pistol armed the same way? 2 shots will kill most any one (3 to 4 with a troll maybe) and they are not illegal.
So why would you ever not use a pistol loaded with capsule rounds that have Narcojet mixed with DMSO? Is the armor just useless?

And with DMSO why have dart guns?

DMSO (Arsenal P.82)
Capsule Rounds (Arsenal P.34)
Contact vector (SR4 P.244)


Also just for fun total cost of knocking my mage on his ass in 2 shot from some random ganger
Capsule rounds = 30 ¥
DMSO = 10 ¥
Narcojet = 50 ¥
So for 150 ¥ you too can drop just about anything that has a body
