I'm intending to get 29g luer lock needles and this VERY COMPLICATED site asks about POINT STYLE.

Apparently there are FIVE point styles?

What's a regular insulin syringe's point style? Is it the most ideal? I'm so fucking confused.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about the needle... and no, no I do not, my friends. Help me, please, before I lose my mind.
 
I never knew there was more than the 'original' beveled edge?
Slang for bevel up is 'sunny side up' around here lol.
Are the 5 options named or described at all? 29g is for girls btw cap, real men use 25g ;)

Hopefully this will help?
Style 4 with your choice of bevel I guess is the only option the other ones look weird I don't think theyre for IV. Standard 12 degree bevel is fine I'm sure.

29g are actually better tbh because they dont leave marks or kill veins like 25g seem to. The smallest I can get on a 2.5ml barrel is 25g but I do really want to order some 29g to fit them.
When I use 1ml with 29g the marks are gone the next day if im gentle, whereas the 25g marks can take 3 days to go.
You can push a hit faster through a 25g though WOOSH
