The pipette really takes the cake. Like what the fuck, have you never seen a syringe?

I'm guessing they wanted a futuristic cyber syringe and figured they could get away with this.

I'm not sure a syringe would be allowed during filming such scenes. Maybe they don't have the budget for a fake syringe prop.

I'll just let you know right now that there isn't such a thing as a "safe narrow bit of metal" when you're jabbing down at a flailing arm, even in acting.
