Nail Gun

0:0:0

A Nail Gun is a type of tool used to drive nails into wood or some other kind of material. It is usually driven by electromagnetism, compressed air, highly flammable gases such as butane or propane, or, for powder-actuated tools, a small explosive charge. The first nail gun used air pressure and was introduced to the market in 1950 to speed the construction of housing floor sheathing and sub-floors. With the original nail gun, the operator used it while standing and could nail 40-60 nails a minute. It had a capacity of 400-600 nails.

In the United States alone, thousands of people are injured a year from nail guns. Due to safety concerns, precautions are taken in a similar manner to firearms. As such, nail guns are designed to be used with the muzzle touching the target rather than from a distance. Unless specifically modified, they are not an effective projectile weapon.
