Breaking Needles?

[tp4tissue]

Yo, haz ya'll seen Breaking Bad..


On my first full RE-watch here..


Just noticed,   the scene where this chick is about to shoot up..

Those are not the right needles..  totally wrong

They're way too thick,

---you can use it to reup an inkjet cartridge, But there's no way a needle that thick would work on your veins for drug use..

//Movie Mistakes.

I could see one of two reasons for this.
1) they didn't research this for accuracy
2) this needle can be seen easier on camera

Yea... something along those lines,  but it was most likely just an off the shelf prop needle and they didn't think anyone would notice..


Of course.. Tp4 noticed..

Feel so sorries for Gale

I mean. he's a criminal,  but a relatively honorable one..

Needles that thick are usually easier to re-use over and over again.

Very easy to re-sharpen the tip on any whetstone and you tend to keep these needles far longer than the cheap use once and throw away crap.  First know what you are talking about before making spurious claims here. 

When these needles are carefully sharpened, you can pierce anyone's whole arm without them feeling it  .

Wrong things

Ah no.. you typically shoot up into the afferent veins on the periphery,  you can't use a large needle for that.


There's also very little resharpening of needles going on in modern medicine, it's almost all one time use.

tp, trust me those needles would be fine, they'd just hurt like a *****.

[fohat.digs]

I give blood at the Red Cross every few months. Those needles are seriously large!

that's different.. that's for getting stuff out of larger veins..

shooting up is typically putting stuff into smaller veins

[chyros]

Nope, those needles are actually a standard medical size.

We also use them in the lab for various purposes, but they're actually medical needles and syringes. We go through hundreds of them.

next time you do heroin,  try a 1.6mm needle,  see how well it works.

hahahahha

most of the superficial veins that these guys use are ~2-4mm diameter tops. so the IR is going to be much smaller..


Now you try to get  a 1.6mm tube in there..

Not to mention, the chronics have thinner, damaged, hardened veins..



In the movie, it wasn't some body builder with his giant varicose veins, it was this thin art school female..  no way that needle would work.  hahahahaha

Pretty sure it just looks thick in that shot.

[sth]

yeah most people try to get 30G or thinner insulin needles for that stuff.

[Elrick]

29G is common here in Convict Town, for Type 1 Diabetics.

Although the maximum needle length is 12mm made only for specific Insulin Pens.

Fvck-Off toadie, when you're out in the Desert all you've got is perhaps one needle left for your liquid gold, hence you are stuck with re-using it over and over again.

Use to keep lots of needles in various boxes around my place but they all eventually disappeared due to sticky fingered tossers pretending to drop by and talk, now of course everything is locked in metal storage boxes welded to the floor.

I keep forgetting people can own birds.. hahahaha..

It seems so cruel to fundamentally clip them of their wings by stuffing them in a cage.

[cribbit]

Unrelated, but it's interesting trying to figure out what makes me squeamish. Gore? No problem. Actually being stuck with a needle? No problem. Dismemberment? No problem. Picture of someone holding up a needle? Ugh /stomach flip. Human psyche is weird...

Never argue about hypodermic needles with Elrick, he has WAY more experience than anyone here..
