scrawled the following: Smitty ####################### I did some research = ############################### Fake, for several reasons: * As any shooter will know, shooting from the hip like that is very inaccurate. Tell that to a gunslinger who shoots 12,000 round a month. Muscle memory becomes extremely good. * 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. Didn't you see his calloused trigger finger? * The rate the nails appeared at is much higher than the rate of the trigger pulls. Bump-firing does that. * Not a single nail bounces off another nail (which would also be quite dangerous, and they should have worn more than simple eye protection). Poetic license for Pros. * 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. No, the first several were 3/8" deeper due to the static PSI. Running psi nails were all the same. * A nail gun is not made to fire nails on a predictable trajectory.

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. Gravity fluctuates in that shop.

Anybody with a sheet of plywood& a nail gun wanna try this ? http://www.wimp.com/nailart/ Smitty 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. LdB Box of beer anyone? LdB |

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!

Like those 50 shot six shooters. 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. |
