[BAM]

Fear the 12 gauge.

[Redz]

That 12G looks like a straw! Talk about scar tissue!

[420]

Most probably to remove tissue and shit for a biopsy.

[Seth]

scary...

Ha i remember the Sus Redi-ject now that was one bad ass gauge think it was a 20gauge,i still put it in me i'm HardCore,No Pain No Gain.
Man that 12 guage wowwwww.

[Drifter]

Seriously...does anybody know the (proper) medical use for such a beast?


The Dr's use it for the Big Gulps he has the nurse hold during surgery

Man that 12 guage wowwwww.Redi-jects were 18g... I remember doing a shot in my high school bathroom and not being able to pull it out... I guess my leg rebelled against the sheer size of it and said F-U!!

[BDH]

BTW, a good way to tell if someone knows their shit about gear is to quiz them on the different colors of these things... if they dont recognize a 22g or a 25g, they aint been doing it long....

[ergie]

Ya for some stupid reason I tried a 18 gauge, got it about halfway in and then had to pull it out due to pain. When I got it out a shitload of blood came with it :(

[purelife]

12g looks deadly :)

[Dk]

**** my life

[waderow]

that 12 ga would take a "stabbing" motion for sure. fuuuck

[Led Hed]

And I thought 20g was big :eek:

Ya a friend told me way back they were 18 gauge,man all my friends did the sus with the needle it can with.But like Fergie said many of us had lots of blood after the shoots.

I just know

18s are Pink
22s are Grey
25s are Blue

all other colors can **** themselves

[bossman_1986]

Another odd thing about the Redi-Jects was that the actual syringe cylinder was made of GLASS.

I dont think I would have had the balls to use those.

[BigWheel]

T-suspension in the calf with 12 guage dart FTW

[BDH]

I dont think I would have had the balls to use those.Nowadays, no one would... back in 1990 when there was no such thing as UG, you took what you could get and were happy to have it... I AM getting old, sounding like my grandpappy...

[broken7]

damn didn't know they made them that big

[AlbertaBeef]

I'm sure that guage is for veterinary use on bovines and crap however I have one for flooring to get rid of bubbles in vinyl and carpet, cost me about $30:mad:

My Terumo 25's are orange in both 1" and 5/8"

[canadianmuscle0803]

i prefer the 12 gauge for my bicep injections.

[canadianmuscle0803]

Not easy for so much synthol to slide through anything other than a 12-gauge, so I can see where that would make sense for you..

are you talking to me? i was only joking.

[canadianmuscle0803]

Yes, I was talking to you.

I realize you were only joking. I, on the other hand, was not really joking about the synthol comment. Kind of, but not really..

so now you have some inside information on me taking synthol?
