The Jet Harpoon fires a high pressure jet propelled armour piercing harpoon. Like the harpoons used by divers for hunting dangerous sea creatures, the Jet Harpoon has been adapted as X-COM's initial standard underwater rifle for hunting aliens. They can be fired in and out of water with no loss in power or accuracy.
Like the Dart Gun, the Jet Harpoon is not an especially powerful weapon against moderate to heavy alien armour, but it does have double the power and is faster and easier to aim. It is greatly enhanced with the addition of a three round burst mode.
One of the Jet Harpoon's weaker points is its low ammunition capacity of only 10 harpoons. This requires the user to carry a plentiful supply of spare harpoon clips for long sorties.
This weapon appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the Rifle.
