Has anyone actually broken a needle off while shooting?

[DEEZEL]

Just wondering how common this actually is. I always gab it all the way in and leave no needle showing.

So far I didn't break a needle, although I always have a pair of clippers near by in case I have to take out the broken part.

It's best to leave a few mm of the needle out, it makes it a lot easier to remove.

Try to bend the needle and see how easy it would be to break off.

If it did happen it would most likely be a result of a defective needle.

You need to quit shooting into your cranium and go for the soft tissue, that works a lot better!

p.s. Just teasing

I have never heard of someone breaking a needle off. Though I have heard of people passing out while needle was inside them.

Never heard of it. But when i got my flu shot, the syringe the nurse used had a retractable needle. Once she pulled the syringe back, no needle. My jaw dropped and asked her, where is the needle?? She said, oh its retracted into the syringe. I was like damn, i didn't see it come out when you pulled it back.

Don't worry about it, the needle will not break off. It will bend to 90 degrees and still not break, try bending one for yourself...

The needles do have a LOT of give to them. If you were to break it off you'd probably have to be moving your hand around like a maniac. No worries bro just leave a bit out as was said.
