300% scorpion or dart gun

[4horsemen]

I am gonna try to get a quetzal which one do you think would put him to sleep quicker. I have a 120% rifle with tranq darts and a scorpion with 300% melee..

It depends, usually solo players use scorpions.. So... Then again scorpions are less resources than 120 darts.

I saw somewhere how to calculate the torpor to compare them but I can't find the post

Also curious just out of pure curiosity

Found it 

Upon impact, the Tranquilizer Dart deals 26 base damage to the target, which increases with the quality of the rifle it's fired from. The target's torpor will increase by 600% of the damage dealt instantaneously, as well as an additional 250% of the over the next 5 seconds.

 

For scorp multiply melee % by 0.45

 

So  120% gun  would be 30 x 600 = 180 +70 over the next 5 so 250 over 5 seconds

 

Scorp 300 x .45 =  135 over 10 seconds
