boomerjamhead Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Drager Gas Detection Pumps I used the system for many years on submarines. You just select the appropriate tube for the gas you want to detect/measure, cut off the ends, insert the tube into the pump and the color change tells you what is in the atmosphere you're breathing. Once again a bunch of people who don't really know what they are talking about spewing crap over nothing.... ROTFLMAO 132047[/snapback] Why would you be looking for sarin gas on a sub? Sounds absurd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_BiB_ Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Dragers are an industry standard for hazmat and industrial safety. More difficult to use than the normal field issued detection devices. Army Technical Escort uses them because of their sensitivity over things like the M256A1 and the CAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds absurd to me. 132084[/snapback] Sarin gas isn't the only thing the system can detect. CO2, CO, and a host of other atmosphere contaminants can be measured using the system. Check the link I provided. Sorry, (not really) to burst your bubble, but keep trying... Maybe there really are stockpiles of WMD somewhere in Iraq, but if there are they haven't been found yet.

Idiots exist everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is around the 345th thread along the lines of "Aha! WMDs found in Iraq, take that you liberal scum". It is also the 345th time the initial claim was total crap. Richio is our primary source for this never ending error geyser. None of the prior claims were quite so spectacularly, completely and quickly debunked as this one. Congratulations and thanks for the laugh. Problem is, I am sure this very claim is circulating elsewhere and without someone there with your knowledge on the issue, it is being taken as gospel truth.
