What is the role of the NAAK Mark 1 in helping you survive a nerve agent attack?

The NAAK contains autoinjectors of atropine and pralidoxime. The are antagonists of the actions of GA, GB, GD and VX nerve agents. VX, for example, is an organophosphate (also used as an insect toxin). It is an acetylcholinesterase (ACE) inhibitor. The body secretes ACE to "turn off" muscles by dissolving acetylcholine, the conductor that makes muscles contract.
ACE inhibitor toxins work by causing supercontractions of the muscles, most notably the diaphragm. This causes death by asphyxia.
Prompt delivery of the contents of the NAAK may stave off the effects of these chemical agents.
Note that the NAAK is ineffective against other agents like chlorine gas.
