What is your most favourite multidose syringe gun for vaccinations?

One issue we hope to have fixed now is the leaking of the 'hose' guns. Noticed that the hoses didn't stay all the way on the connectors on the gun side. They slipped half way out for whatever reason, probably because there is a lot of movement of the gun itself. Heated up the hose a bit, pushed it all the way up on the connector and put a little tie strap on it.
With the bottle fed syringe...... like @Silver said, maybe I'll have to accept some bubbles on that one.
We'll see what happens with the guns in the next go around in 2 weeks, if the problem re-occurs they'll say bye bye and end up in the trash. =D

And yes, they are all Allflex guns.

For those of you using multidose syringes -- are you using the same needle each time -- or do you swap out the needle? Or are you simply not worried about spreading disease?

Don't have a set amount of uses before we change needles. But no, not worried about spreading anything. The groups immunized together are not new to each other and we wouldn't immunize a known ill animal with a healthy group together.

Typically not too worried. Feeder calves it really doesn't matter. Breeding stock I'm a little more cautious.

Ww tried the Allflex 5 bt repeater syringe yesterday to give shots of Dex to our weaning size heifers. The gun worked great but the empty bottle was hard to get off. Any tips?
