Popping yourself with an auto injector would really hurt. Aren't the atroping injectors meant for deep muscle injection like the thigh? If I remember correctly the original auto injector kit for atropine was three injections which were supposed to be self administered at an interval after exposure to nerve agents. Then the military started questioning how willing a servicemember would be to give shots two and three after feeling how painful shot one was. They then changed it to one shot.

Yes its IM...and I think one shot now. Its a potent drug...as a nurse you didnt give it and walk away without monitering the patient.

I heard that even in the thigh,it hurts like hell.Of course,under a real nerve gas attack,your adrenaline would be pumping so fast,you'd probably not notice how bad it'd hurt.I also heard that the wipe packages the issue for deconning your face and inside your mask burns like hell.The gave us the alcohol ones for training with,so I never had to find out.
