Apparently you have some miscontrued notions about air powered

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.


Well, I'll say this for your eyesight - if you can see or track a 3.5" nail
at nearly 500 meters with the naked eye, you've got some fabulous vision
there. Not to mention quite an air nailer.
