Apparently you have some miscontrued notions about air powered nailguns. Did
you think a device that can fire a 3.5 inch nail with barbs through 3.5
inches of spruce or pine couldn't hurt your body or fire right through your
hand?


The three I own shoot nails farther than the eye can see in the sky. One can
only track them, depending on the sky and background, about three to four
farmers fields and then they disappear, being too small for the human eye at
about 500 metres. Yes, that is over 1/4 mile.

Perhaps you are thinking staple guns are framing nailers. Perhap you are you
just trolling or actually never used a compressed air nailgun? You know
Paslode, Hatachi, or other **FRAMING** nailgun. Newer styles are doing
multiple impacts to eliminate some of these nasties. Pretty hard to believe
you have ever used one.

Maybe it's lost in translation, but are you saying you were 10 feet (3m)
away and it dented a steel toed boot? I don't believe that for a second.
Did I say there were no injuries due to nail guns?
I was referring to quantity, not quality.


Again, I just want to make sure.
Is that one half a kilometer? 500 meters?
That's over 1/4 mile... 1600 feet.

If that's not a typo and you honestly are trying to tell me that you
have shot a pneumatic nail gun 500 meters, then you are..... well I
don't know what the British phrase is for "full of sh!t." I believe the
term Bullocks! comes to mind.

I honestly hope that's a typo, otherwise it pretty much discredits
everything you've written in this thread.
