But then the same TV show around the same time demonstrated a 1 million round per second gun, this is only just starting to appear properly as the "Metal-Storm" system I definitely remember seeing the technology on a Program called "Tomorrows World" back in the late 70`s, they actually managed to fire the spray through a sheet of paper without tearing it.

as for this new method i love it . having a phobia of needles myself this would make me more willing to get shots instead of lying about how long ago i got them to avoid getting more shots lol

As I understand it, the drugs need to be special nano-sized particles that can actually move freely through the skin. That requires a different drug manufacturing process. I'm guessing that vaccines may need to be changed a bit for the FluGen delivery system, but not as dramatically and they can stay relatively "micro" sized.

My family has a history of diabetes (both types), and I hate needles, so any advance in this field is great news for us. If this only gets the medication under the skin (not deep tissue like hep shots), how is this any easier/cheaper than star-trek-style compressed air injections (yes this does actually exist)? Not being rude, but seriously curios here.
