I was thinking through the ChemMaster, like ampoules are. The hypospray whitelist would be good except calomel and atropine are (rightly) not on it, and also are probably the most used autoinjectors as well. They're definitely meds you need to get in someone as quickly as possible.
That said making craftable autoinjectors when only two meds actually would benefit is probably a waste of time, although it did get me thinking that there are some issues with the hypospray whitelist. Styptic powder and silver sulfadiazine should never have been on it in the first place, but at least they don't do TOX when injected through a hypospray. Meth is also a weird drug to have on the whitelist, what with it not even being medicine. Some other drugs on the hypospray whitelist have dangerous or potentially dangerous side effects. (e.g. pentetic acid, perfluorodecalin if it still blocks speaking over the radio) If you wanted to change the hypospray whitelist then it might be worth adding craftable autoinjectors, restricting hyposprays to the safer meds while making the more dangerous ones autoinjector only.
That's a bit of a different suggestion though.
Is heparin hypospray-safe? If not that's another medical drug that has an autoinjector, although it's almost never used and treating hypertension isn't really the "every second counts" thing that neurotoxin and sarin are. If it is then it probably shouldn't be.
Edit: Heparin is not hypospray safe.
