Trivia

• There is a "Coil Gun" print on the shell ejector plate.
• This is the first weapon introduced with reflecting projectiles, though it was first introduced in Half-Life by Tau Cannon. (Note that Counter-Strike Online uses Half-Life's engine called GoldSrc)
• The Needler has the highest magazine capacity of all submachine guns so far.
• Oddly, the Taiwan/Hong Kong and Singapore/Malaysia regions use the Crossbow's firing sound instead.
