Magic bullet theory?

Really showcases the big upgrade from .308 Win to .338 Lapua, 1800m and it's still arriving like a mack truck with loads of energy to spare.

Okinawa Marine devises way to immediately treat battlefield injuries

Long designed a tear-proof package that slips into a Marine’s flak jacket behind the ceramic plates meant to stop bullets and shrapnel. When ruptured, the package releases a clotting agent and a painkiller to stop the bleeding and numb the pain, combating shock instantly.

That's been the reaction I'm seeing, and what I first thought.

Idk man. This seems kind of fun when you nerf it down like that. Some people speculate that's what these guys are doing in Iraq. Just having fun.

The number one killer in combat is blood loss. Everything I've seen over the past ten years has been one method after another that tries to stop massive bleeding. Speaking of which. I've still got an experimental hemostatic pad from ten years ago. I should probably get rid of that thing.



I couldn't find the one I saw for the pads they gave us to test. I don't know how quikclot works, but the pads they gave us stopped bleeding by cauterizing the wound. Whatever they were made of, when they contacted blood they got really fucking hot.

Can you really make an IV like that Jason Bourn guy did in that one movie using store bought stuff?

I don't remember exactly what he used, but I don't think it should be too hard to do. You need a super sharp needle, or you're gonna tear the vein. Then it's just hook up the tubing to the bag. Hitting the vein can take some practice. That seems like the more difficult thing to do than finding supplies. Luckily, I have big bulging veins, so I never got stuck up like a pincushion by someone who didn't know what to do.

Best idea we ever had was to get this medic chick come hook us all up to IVs so we could hydrate while we got drunk. We're all standing in the kitchen with our saline hanging from the cabinet nobs.
