Item 1. Wouldn't a shooter squinting at a scope be really visible at close range?
Next: stabilizing. Can't have fins because those would be evidence. Standard for air pistols, ammo is either round like a bb or has a round front end. A dart will have to have a sharply tapered nose, but to penetrate skin it has to keep that nose but the nose will be nothing but thin ice. I guess we have to compare this to a needle gun.
Item 2. Again visibility. A guy with a two hand grip and scope is pretty noticeable so the shooting would have to be without people around. An assassin using a sandbag to stabilize, well, lolo. I guess he'd be standing and take the shot at an opportune time.
Item 4. Who said battery operated? the headline.
Model 1911. The 1911 handles a far larger calibre. I don't see it being made to work with tiny thin darts, even if the barrel gets replaced with a small bore tube.
Finally, the article was written by a guy with bachelor's in fine arts. I raise the point he is incapable of judging truth from fiction about technology.
