Can't find a clip but this reminds me of the Pirate from Venture bros that was hooked on tranq darts.

That's hilarious. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of when wild animals get trap-happy.
As a child I loaded an air rifle with pixie stix and shot my shirtless friend in the chest with it.
In my mind, it was going to be like some three stooges cloud of flour that would turn his face pink kind of like this. (Best I could find)
What happened instead was his entire chest was pouring blood and filled with burning pixie stix powder. I’m so glad I didn’t shoot him in the face. See, I was aiming for my brother who was the same height as me at the time and my buddy happened to be the one who came through the door.
He was a damn good friend too. The adults weren’t brought in on the matter. We cleaned the wounds with peroxide and waited years to tell anyone haha.
God I miss being a kid. I miss my old friends.
Learning is fun.

We would've gotten along famously lol. We used to treat cartoons like instruction manuals for fun and cool shit, none of it worked like on TV of course, but still lots of (often painful) fun to be had.
Bedsheets do not in fact make an adequate parachute for a second story jump, btw.

Learned second hand that umbrellas also don't work well as parachutes. My cousin was the first hand ~~victim~~ experimenter

Were the stix still wrapped or did you dump the powder, and where did the burning come from in an air rifle?
Burning because sugar doesn't feel good in blood, not because it was on fire.
Ooooohhhhhh ok I thought you/they meant like singed lol, that makes more sense!
I'm not the previous commenter, just an interpreter, but happy to help :)
The powder was dumped into the air rifle and shot at my friend.
And someone else clarified "burning" as in sensation, not fire, that makes more sense! Still wondering how that managed to break skin but the burning I understand now lol.
This is the answer. He said over and over again, “it buuuurns, oh god it buuuuurns!” Haha

Why the fuck are you people using sleeping pills as antihistamines?
Diphenhydramine is a better antihistamine than it is a sleeping pill
Not if you want to walk the nightmare astral plane
with absolutely clear sinuses. yes.
We people as in Americans?
Yeah, as in America.
Benadryl doesn't contain anything like that in the UK, it's got Acrivastine instead (at least for the "rapid relief" stuff).
Cetirizine and Loratadine are the other generics, I think. I don't find those as effective for my needs. They last longer but take longer to get to work. None of these make you drowsy.
You can only get diphenhydramine here as a sleeping aid as far as I can tell. I'm sure it works as an antihistamine as well, but I don't know why a country so car dependent as the US would decide that hayfever sufferers should have the same driving skills as a drunk.
Because regulations in America almost always favor big corporations and not consumers/independent businesses.
I've lived both in UK and US and the quality of food, medication, etc is night and day. You can compare the ingredients of big mac in US and UK and you'll see what I mean.
I actually recently watched a great show called "Dopesick" that tells the story of how American opioid crisis began. I think it does a great job explaining how stupid and ineffective FDA really is.

What am I looking at?
A shotgun shell loaded with Benadryl instead of buck shot (or rock salt)
My stupid ass thought it was a different kind of shot. Was like "wow, they over-salted that rim!"
Same, dont feel stupid though. Not everyone lives somewhere that home defense is a concern.
Thanks, I thought that object was some kind of lipstick. :D
I'm really dumb when it comes to guns. Would this actually work??
Yes sort of. Anything loaded in a shell like this will come out of the barrel at high velocity and could definitely penetrate skin at close range. The pills will probably turn into fine powder, so the effective range is probably like 1m?
Based on some quick research, the difference is more than 5x.
Bio-availability via oral dosage is 40-60% whereas as topical is less than 10%.
Intravenous is 100% bio-availability so open wounds should help so coating buck shot with it as others have suggested should be affective. It's also immediate, oral is 1 to 4 hours.
So you're saying to load this shell second.
Depends, if the pills stay whole (or in large enough chunks) they don't need shot to help them penetrate.
You just gotta be extra close if you want them to go see ~~Mr Toppum Hat~~ an old friend.
… yea, in case the buckshot to the face doesn’t put them to sleep first
That’s why you use rat or snake shot

High doses of Benadryl can give you a REALLY dissociative high.
Overdosing on benydryll will make you halucinate. And not the fun kind

Shoot them all. Let the Hat Man sort them out.
I abused diphenhydramine on purpose several times during my younger years, and I had a pretty uncomfortable time every time.

I mean, I know why they're breaking in now.
You're hoarding ingredients to make drugs.
Much easier to buy them at Costco h they come in a bottle, so no blister packs.
Even better, get capsules and compress the powder in a shell like a breeching round.
Effective range goes way down, though
Ranges aren't all that long inside a house generally, so I wouldn't worry about effective range.
