Anyone ever use one of these?

Thank goodness I think I was too young for this one (plus mum was a nurse so just cracked on with it really). I do remember a weird tube like thing that kind of encased a syringe & you cocked it by kind if pulling it apart, then you placed it against your leg etc & I think the idea was that you didn't have to see the needle going in but in reality you never knew when it was quite going to go off, so probably ended up tenser than ever lol! 😱 I wonder if I'll look at my link assist with similar thoughts in years to come? 🙂

I did !

Loaded a disposable syringe in it, placed the end against my arm (you know, for a change?) closed eyes and pulled trigger. Bang.

Opened eyes. Syringe lying on mantelpiece.

Damn good job no-one else was in the room I can tell you. Tried it again and it landed with the needle embedded in a chair across the room.

Dangerous it was. Never tried it againn except to demonstrate it's naffness using an old syringe with the needle removed .........

What we thought was, the clips that hold the syringe, didn't cos they were too loose and although husband got pliers etc to try and squish them a bit tighter, you couldn't, they were that 'sprung' steel - we concluded it was meant for a fatter syringe ie probably the glass one I'd just recently been so glad to see the back of .......
