P2 - What Weapon Is Fired The Dart?

[Denixboy]

Does anyone know which the hero shoots the dart, which is later found by Dannyboy?

 

[Andre de Jong]

Is it possible that it is fired with the Net-gun?

Is fired from his left armed gauntlet. I thought the net gun was an add on that attached to the left side shin armour

 

[Denixboy]

Do you have a picture where you can see that he shoots the dart on the left arm?
Netgun it's definitely not!

Oops. Now I've gotta rethink mounting for the dart from the blade gaunt to the left side. Oh well, a mans work is never done.

Sorry I recall my previous statement. After some research (mainly watching the film) the dart was fired from the right side (blade side) not the left. So Tony you were right first time.

I have also noticed that there is no real evidence of this being fired from a Gauntlet as there are no really spaces shown for it. I believe that in the film the planned on using a 'dart gun' which is a C shaped weapon but the later left it out. Considering that the dart was shot when the predator was cloaked we will never know for sure. But watching the predator in slow mo at this moment there is arguably an object in his hand yet others will argue that that is merely the shape of the predator.

Personally, I am unsure. To me it would make sense to have it firing from a gauntlet as the 'dart gun' if it does exist was never shown on the predators person unlike the net gun (on the shin armour), the disc (around the waist), the spear (on the back) etc


Here a pic of the scene

After watching it myself, I'll have to agree with Jason. It comes from his right. I don't see anything obvious other than that.

It looked like the net gun but it had 4 slots for darts

The 4 slots were for the 4 spikes that were attached to the 4 corners of the net.

In the scene where he is cleaning up King Willie's skull: he places the skull up on the display spike and slowly withdraws his hand. Now, when he does this, look closely at the area under his wrist - you can see a rectangular slit where the dart is fired.

Oh. Okay. That makes sence wonko.

That seems to be the only reasonable explanation.
The slot is big enough for the dart.
The Netgun is excluded. In addition, there are 5 spikes on it, not four.
Thanks for your help and cooperation!
