I heard that the remington gun nailer is very loud (almost like a gun

My guess is about like a fire cracker or a bull whip being cracked.
Use a good set of ear muff protection and safety glasses.


They *are* gun shots. A 22 cartridge. How loud depends on the load...more
powder = more noise. It also = more driving force and therin lies the
problem...selecting the correct load for the work at hand. Too low and the
nail won't penetrate fully; too high and you may well wind up with the nail
driven completely through a board. One can't use the same load to attach a
piece of soft wood to concrete block that one would use to attach it to
concrete. Concrete varies in hardness too. Sometimes from spot to spot.

Fastening to steel is very loud (imo).
