Don't understand what you are saying here Dave - can you run that by
me again? I'm confused by the "unrestricted hit" part of what
you're saying.

I'm saying that nails from a nail gun are driven with a preconfigured
amount of force. That's evidenced by the fact that you can set the
depth that a nail is driven. In other words, all nail speeds are
muzzled and controlled to a certain extent.

If all of this is so, then it seems obvious to me that the nails
aren't driven with as much force as the gun could ultimately muster.
Compare that to a bullet. The explosion propelling a bullet isn't
muzzled in any way. That control is solely at the discretion of the
amount of powder and the explosion it makes.

Thanks Dave - I didn't get that (obviously...) from your post earlier.
