It would have to be more along the lines of a Nerve Agent but spraying Nerve agent without some sort of protection is pure suicide but then again since when does Hollywood follow reality!

Cooking spray (like PAM) that contains peanut oil. Deadly to people with allergies to peanuts.

hehe..I think in the movie he puts a hankerchief over his nose and mouth...but your right...hollywood. Usually though, they base crap like this on "something". The other thread just jogged my memory and I've wondered if this is based on reality. |

Actually VX would be perfect to spray down, it has the viscosity of motor oil and doesn't give off alot of vapors. It works mainly as a contact poison. Still a hankerchief and no protective gear will spraying an aerosol is pure hollywood. Still, more accurate than the move The Rock - I saw that movie with some techs and we were laughing are asses off especially that intraCardiac Atropine injector!

Quick, depending on some things like how damp your skin is and how much you got on you. It wouldn't be but a minute or so before you started showing symptoms.
You could put VX on a door handle or something...especially if it were combined with some kind of agent to retard its already low evaporation rate. |

I saw what you are talking about. Bruce Willis pulled out a small aerosol can and sprayed the door handle on the rear of the van he was driving. All he had on was a pair of rubber gloves and he kind of turned his head and held his breath, very real, NOT.
The movie was kind of entertaining except for the part(s) where Willis was a rump ranger  . That would have been better left out IMHO.

Symptoms will appear within a few seconds after exposure to the vapor form of VX, and within a few minutes to up to 18 hours after exposure to the liquid form. |

I think if you actually TOUCHED liquid VX, you'd get muscle fasciculation and miosis pretty quickly.
