Just shot with the 18G cannon

[powerliftmike]

Not sure why, but 25G is just too damn small for me these days. Part of the problem is my reach has shortened (a good thing tho ) and so the angles have become more extreme meaning I really have to press the plunger hard in an awkward position sometimes resulting in a cramp.

Everyone is always talking about how a higher gauge needle makes less impact and thus less scare tissue and pain. I got to thinking tho: a small needle means high oil velocity upon exiting (bernoullius principle i think), which might be the source of much pain (kinda like water blasting pavement). Also a larger needle means less "exposure" time in the muscle, and less force required on the plunger which could solve the muscle cramp problem.

I decided today that, what the hell I will shoot with 18G. Overall it worked great, i think the best would be a compromise of my 21, 22, or maybe 23G tho, since 18G entry is rather difficult.

yeah the only reason 18G sucks (i've had to do it a few times) is because you can definitely feel it going in

LOL i myself have used a 18g out of shear desperation at times ( Pins didnt arive on time)... And just the look of an 18 g harpoon makes me leary ... all though it did hurt none the less .. but i prefer 22-23 gauge and 25 for delts bi and tri

18g is nuts.

Yeah, bernoullius principle. That's why "pressure washers" are a big fat lie. Smaller the diameter of pipe, (given a constant output) the lower the pressure but higher the velocity. (Taken from the equation Pressure = Force x Area).

Damn, I know some rubbish....

I took my first shot 18 in the shoulder

[wascaptain5214]

id have to pass on a 18g......21 biggest i use...

[Schmidty]

but everything i shot up came squirting back out like a super soaker

You sounded very intelligent untill you said the word "rubbish."

im sorry i was too busy looking at this pic to read all that

i've used an 18g.. when i was a noob.. and only the one time.. but your reasoning is logical
