Syringe Spear?

So from what I can tell its stats are that of a nomral spear with the injection added. That increases the price and changes it to a martial weapon. Anyone know why it is a martial weapon instead of a treat as weapon?

I think he means treated as a simple weapon.

1) Game balance, it does more than a regular spear does

2) The injection system probably requires a little more fines and skill than a regular spear, you need to get it spot on

3) The injector system probably weighs a bit, making the weapon harder to use.

Sorry by treat as I meant:

"Treated as: This list of weapons includes weapons from the Adventurer's Armory and supplements the list in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook . If a weapon’s description says it is “treated as” another weapon, a character lacking the appropriate exotic weapon proficiency, can still use it as if it were the other kind of weapon and feats such as Weapon Focus still apply, as do abilities requiring a certain weapon. For example, the butterfly knife allows a proficient user to open or close it as a free action and is otherwise treated as a dagger, meaning she can wield it as a dagger, gain the benefit of Weapon Focus (dagger) when wielding it, use it as the target of a spell that only affects daggers, and so on."
