Hi all,

does anybody know what the little tube hanging down from this backpack (apothecary) is for? It connected to the sprue... i don't even know if it's detail or just a vent, I almost thought maybe it connected to the med equipment on the fist but it doesn't look like it would and was bent the wrong way anyway. I'm mystified...

**CrashUSAR**

Are you talkin about that little dangly thingy?

**MechaEmperor7000**

That looks like a vent. I have one of those metal backpacks and there's no tubing there.

**Anacrucis**

Yeah the dangly thing... I just wanted a 2nd opinion on it's ventyness before clipping it off.

**Da_Mega_Grot**

maybe the needle part of a syringe?

**Anacrucis**

That would truly be an Heroic Scale needle!

**Catyrpelius**

There is no dangely thing on the backpack of my Apoth like that. My suggestion if it looks like its supposed to be there keep it, if not cut it off. More then likely its just a vent that needs to be removed.

**Anacrucis**

Yeah I'ma trim it off... it just was a little bit of a curveball because there was a big fat sprue tab on the bottom of the pack and then this bit connected onto the pack and the sprue like it was some kinda... i dunno. Extra thingy.

You seen some of the needles hanging off a painboy? they look like they would do much more damage than help, which probable suits the painboy just fine lol.

Yea I have never seen a dangly bit on a apothicary backpack, probably not supposed to be there.

I was thinking more along the lines of the RL needles the Red Cross uses on their platlet collection machines... those things are fat, but not as big as that little lead bit...

Its just excess, I clipped it off
