I did some research =

###############################
Fake, for several reasons:

* As any shooter will know, shooting from the hip like that is very
inaccurate.
* You can't keep the rate of fire that those nails appeared at with a
semi-automatic for that long, especially not if you want to maintain
accuracy.
* The rate the nails appeared at is much higher than the rate of the
trigger pulls.
* Not a single nail bounces off another nail (which would also be
quite dangerous, and they should have worn more than simple eye
protection).
* All the nails are hammered in perfectly straight to exactly the same
depth. A nail is hardly a ballistically stable projectile, and I
wouldn't expect such perfect results.
* A nail gun is not made to fire nails on a predictable trajectory.
There would be a larger inaccuracy inherent in it.
* No one got hurt. Due to the risk of bouncing nails off other nails,
and nails tumbling and not hitting point first, nails should be flying
all over the place.

Also, but I'm not quite sure of this, I've never seen flat head nails
used in a nail gun, I've only seen nails with a small conical head
(Dyckert in Swedish, have no idea what the English word is. See image
for dyckert on wikipedia: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyckert).

Also at 51 seconds you can see 2 distinct and very separate lines
being formed at the same time. Also the nails feeding into the gun
appear more like a cartoon drawing than real.

That's pretty good. He must be applying some English to those nails
since he isn't even pointing the gun at the part where the nails are
supposedly sticking.

Tell that to a gunslinger who shoots 12,000 round a month. Muscle

Didn't you see his calloused trigger finger?

Bump-firing does that.

Poetic license for Pros.

No, the first several were 3/8" deeper due to the static PSI. Running
psi nails were all the same.

What? The guy's obviously a pro.

Impossible. Nail guns do not have rifled barrels. The nails just
tumble through the air. Maybe one in ten would actually stick in the
plywood. As for accuracy you would be lucky to hit the plywood.

I have a couple of nail guns and have tried shooting them.

If your wondering why, a friend saw my Paslode cordless framer. He had
seen movies where they used the nailer as a gun. I bet him a box of
beer that it was BS and won. That being said you wouldn't want to be
standing in the line of fire. Those nails are really moving when they
come out of the nailers.

Likely all they did in the movie was to start with the finished
"picture" edit in a blank plywood sheet, then slowly edit the nails
back into view.

Reading this thread leads me to believe a few or you guys believe the
video. I guess P.T. Barnum was, there's a sucker born every minute.

If your still dumb enough to think "Duh! Da nails always go in
straight" then "Duh! Da range is less than an inch" about the length
of your perception.

Box of beer anyone? :)

Used a movie camera in single frame mode.

I don't believe a user could hold up a gun and hose
that long and pull his finger that many times without
going into spasms!

They solved that in this spoof by showing that the cover was left
dangling and the nails were being fed in from the floor. They either
taped sets of nails together, or more likely, reloaded during one of
the many stops in the filming they made.

The whole thing was a pretty major dice and splice job.

Yeah, and at the 56-second point he continues to pull the
