Here is one to make you put your thinking cap on. :blink:
I like to post these strange actual rather than fictitious scenarios every once in a while.
Here is what we know from reading the story below.
All of those that were shot survived. BUT, depending on where exactly you were hit - there is a remote possibility that you may not. I'm best guessing that any dart that could penetrate 2" into a thigh muscle could possibly pass between ribs and penetrate the heart. Also and obviously a hit to the eye and it's likely that you'll be blinded in that eye.
We also (according to the info provided below) do not know if the blow gun shooter "tipped" his darts with anything possibly poisonous or infectious.
Do you respond with deadly force. As far as I know there is no existing legal precedent set for responding to a dart attack with deadly force.
Four Hit With Blow Darts in Delaware

(Aug. 12) -- Authorities in Delaware are investigating a recent series of blow dart attacks in which four people have been injured.
One official described the attacks as "a scene from an Indiana Jones movie."
The first report came Tuesday morning from cyclist Dan Wilson, who said he was shot in the thigh with a dart while riding his bike, according to a report from NBC Philadelphia.
Wilson was not badly hurt, but said the dart was lodged over two inches into his leg.
After hearing reports of Wilson's attack, a woman came forward to say she was hit in the neck with a blow dart while biking on Monday.
Both Wilson and the woman said they noticed a white pickup truck driving by at the time of the incidents.
The case grew stranger Wednesday with the report of two more blow dart attack victims.
One of the victims, a 17-year-old, was hit in the hand and the injury will require surgery, WPVI-TV reported.
WPVI reported the fourth person had been hit by a blow dart, but did not have further details on the incident.
Both of the latter attacks allegedly occurred before Wilson was shot, but the victims only came forward after seeing news reports on the incident.
"This has to be one of the strangest incidents of late and in the years I've been a state trooper I've never seen anything like this," Jeffrey Whitmarsh, of the Delaware State Police, said.
Police are investigating but have few suspects or leads in the case.
