Blindjim,
Too many folks with perfect vision nail a finger or hand (I have a friend who nailed his head!). It makes sense in your case vs. aiming a hammer at your thumb. I'm actually impressed.
Happy Holidays.

And in CT, some guy "nailed" his b-in-law (and partner in his failing construction business) 4x in the head w a contractor grade nailgun he modified to "full auto". Killed the sucker and claimed that the guy tripped and fell and "shot" himself. Jury didn't believe it either.

So be careful out there, Nubby.

If I needed to uh, 'nail' someone I'd use a more apporpriate tool Remember, different jobs require different tools. An H&K MP5 or mp7 in 556 would be a good choice, but the Israelis have a pretty competent tool as well but in 9mm.

These are what I call finishing nail guns.

LOL.

...thought you'd like that one.... although it was a slam dunk natural.

Problem is you just can't leave 'em lay around a job site unattended. They have a havit of getting lost.
