I have a Diamond D-180 nail gun that uses 25 cal blanks for driving nails
into concrete or mild steel. One mean mother! DO NOT TRY to put a nail
into an engine block with a 325 load Jack made me do it That sucker
bounced around the shop about 5 times before it stopped. (the nail .. not
the engine block) On mine the loads go from 1-9 125 being the wimps and 925
being the armor piercing break your wrist load. My kit only goes to 325 ..
probably why I am still here LOL.
It is way cool to put 1/4 20 studs in the concrete or nail 2X6's to the wall
or 1/8" steel to concrete. You just can't nail the heads onto your 460
though...

Among some of the goodies I schleped home today (not counting the mint
Trans-Oceanic Royal D7000 and the Pentax ME Super) was a rather
interesting tool box..designed to be wall mounted...containing a wierd
looking O/A type torch and 7 bottles of some sorts of metal powders,
along with various bottles of fluxes.

I don't know about the other stuff but I do have that same
trans-ocenaic Royal D7000 radio and a Pentax Super ME camera around
here somewhere.

The radio is here...

Thats the one. (the link says 10 batts..its only got 9..8 are for
operation..one for the little flip out light next to the tuning dial.

Ive already discovered you need an external antenna for any band
besides FM. Which is rather odd. And the manual (came with the
original manual and ear piece) sorta glossed over it.

The ME works though the batteries need changing. Shutter was pretty
sticky, but it works fine now after 50 or so releases. I think..think
Ive got some Pentax screw mount lens in one of the camera bags

Ive a couple or 3 Canon A-1s that Ive been using for years..along with
a couple manual Canons..all of which have the Canon bayonet mount..but
remember scrounging some scew mounts years ago and getting adapters
for screw to Canon bayonet.

Oh..the Line-Gun is interesting. I believe it uses CO2 cartridge to
carry a string..Got lots of string spools, no cartridges. When you
cock it..and pull the trigger..a piston with a spike on the end slams
forward into the center of a holder and apparently pieces the ass end
of the CO2 cartridge..which is tied to the bobbin of string and
launches the entire CO2 cartridge. Seems like it would pinwheel
badly..but maybe the string acts as a tail...

In the same tool box was a ****LOAD of .22 blanks for nail guns and a
half ****load of .25 blanks for what I think is Hilti..

Now I got to scrounge a power activated nail gun....
