Tranquilizer Gun - On the spy drama FORTUNE HUNTER/FOX/1994 Carlton Dial (Mark Frankel) a former British spy in the employ of Intercept Corporation (a San Francisco recovery firm) was ordered to use a tranquilizer gun (that fired six high-potency darts) due to lawsuits against the corporation for over excessive violence by its agents. When asked about the gun, Dial remarked "It's not the size of the gun that's important. It's how he uses it." Carlton was also outfitted with a miniaturized camera and audio-transceivers that broadcast what he saw and heard back to headquarters. On the adventure series SEARCH/NBC/1972-73 similar devices were used by field agents of the Probe Division of World Securities who were fitted with earphone implants and miniaturized scanning devices.
