Does injecting an air bubble in your vein really stop your heart?

[Volatile]

is it a good method?

No it won't, even a whole tube will do nothing.

This method remembered me a similar death but with water in vein instead of air. I don't know how it works, something of osmosis and cells exploding, I have no idea. But I still doubt about both methods so I wouldn't trust in anything related with things in your veins.

I once read a couple of articles and forum posts explaining why it doesn't work as easily as people think, but I can't find it and it was in german. A quick google search just says you need like 100ml, far more than in a normal syringe. "Injecting" such large amounts of air will probably be almost impossible

No

An air embolus is not at all peacefull or painless or effective.
