Fun fact, Benadryl is actually a fairly powerful local anesthetic. You can pack it into a wound before applying sutures and it is almost as effective as lidocaine. So basically, shooting someone with a benadryl load is probably a bit counterproductive and might just make angry zombies.
Careful with this info. Diphenhydramine can cause nerve damage if at too high a concentration: 5 parts whatever to 1 part Benadryl is the typical dilution for local anesthetics.
You say Benadryl, but do you mean one part diphenhydramine, or one part of the crushed tablets at presumed to concentration?
The actual chemical. As for adding crushed Benadryl tablets I have zero clue about the concentration and the potential of that to cause damage to the nerves. I was just urging caution.
This sounds like over-simplified information that is totally going to get someone in the ER.
I feel like if you're in a situation where you need to know how to improvise an anaesthetic for sutures, you probably should be in the ER anyway, but can't get to one.
Nah. Hold my beer.
Even though it makes no sense, all I could figure out for this was that they were hiding something valuable in a container of benedryl so burglars wouldn't find it, instead of hiding it in a box of rock salt or a box of nails.
It's a shotgun shell. People sometimes load them up with rock salt and nails for home defense, even though bird and buckshot will do the trick.
This person loaded the shell up with benadryl, which will cause hallucinations when taken in higher quantities.
you need quite lot of benadryl to cause deleriant reaction.
You can get a magazine extension for a Benelli M4 that will increase capacity from 5 to 7 (plus one in the chamber.)
Cute.
That looks like a cool zombie-defense weapon and a terrible actual weapon for self-defense or war.
Ya. It's a range toy. Not all cars have to be useful on the track either.
FUCK ALLERGIES *ratatatatata*
I abused it a few times as a teenager, and it was really shitty every time. Someone told me that you can see the air by abusing Welbutrin as well, so naturally I tried that too. You can absolutely see the air, but it also makes you feel like you have a brain tumor.
Benadryl Buck Shot is a fucking great band name.
Track list on their debut album:
That is a shotgun shell loaded with allergy medicine. In the US many people reload their own shotgun shells. If you put rock salt instead of lead shot it is less-than-lethal...sorta. Some put in weirder stuff like nails, etc. Americans are funny like that.
Thank you for explaining this. As a non-USian I had no idea what was going on.
This you?
There's multiple youtube channels that are devoted entirely to loading shotguns with weird shit.
And I get innovation is fun and all but I've shot a lot of shotguns, and it almost doesn't matter what you put in it, it will leave a similar sized hole in whatever you shoot it at.
Break into my home, you're gonna be crammed full of whatever I think is funny.
what do I need to know to understand this?
I think you need to be American. It is funny how the Americans are busy explaining the drug to you, but failing to understand that it is the underlying premise that most non-Americans won't get.
Benadryl is a brand name of diphenhydramine, an antihistamine with a powerful side effect of drowsiness. Benadryl is labeled as an allergy relief medication but the same drug is sold under other brands such as Sominex as a sleep aid. Effects of overdosing on diphenhydramine include seizures, extreme drowsiness, excessive sleepiness, delirium, and hallucinations.
The translucent object packed with several of the pills is a shotgun shell. The text refers to the practice of reloading shotgun shells with other objects in an attempt to alter their lethality and/or pain potential. A shell loaded with rock salt for example, salt is much lighter than lead so it should have less stopping/penetrating power, but any wounds caused are automatically salted.
any wounds caused are automatically salted
I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't think it'd work like that.
The idea behind a rock salt shell is it would be less likely to kill and more likely to HURT. Also possibly less likely to damage anything behind. You might take a little paint off the fridge but not destroy it.
Whether that's actually how it works or not, call Adam and Jamie.
...or Johnny Knoxville
It's okay...most folks are focused on the shotgun, the salt is definitely secondary in that moment
The salt load has an added benefit of temporarily incorporeating ethereal beings.
I'm using the other comments to hypothesise but I think they are using Benedryl (an anti-hystemine/anti-allergy medication) and putting it inside a shotgun cartridge. The implication being that they will shoot people breaking into their house with a powerful over-the-counter narcotic.
I wouldn’t be using brand-name Benadryl for that unless it was expired. This clearly calls for the Kirkland Select store brand from Costco!
Oh, it's a shell casing
