I'm not good at this sort of thing... but anyone done cost comparisons between capsules, bolts, arrows and darts with common toxins?

Considering that except for capsule rounds (where you can apparently get away with using 1/5 of a dose), the cost of the toxin is going to be the same; it's just a matter of your range and the cost of the firearm round / injection bolt / injection arrow / injector needle.  Me, I'm a capsule round person - unless, as it now turns out, you have to hit them from further than 50m out.  Then I think I'd go with the standard daikyu and injection arrow.

I made the proposal that you either have 20% of the effect, as per RAW or you pay a full dose per bullet.
Since 20% of effect would be meaningless, I think we'll go with the cost of one dose per bullet.

You have a point. And it makes sense from a "hit" perspective of automatics. That 6 rnd burst has good use...
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Hmm, well there's another interesting point.. Capsule rounds can go no further than light pistol ranges...While even the Dart Pistol and Crosbow Pistol are heavy pistol ranges, you get into other delivery types and they'll rapidly expand the range... all of these are single shot delivery methods while Capsule rounds allow firing multiple rounds to try and guarantee a hit.

True, bit BF/FA delivery methods and shortest range short of palming slap patches onto someone sounds like a reasonable explanation for he dosage distribution, the capsules are probably a lot smaller anyway.
