There was a nail gun post in Tonights Smoke 4/26/06.

I rented a pneumatic nail gun when I installed a hardwood floor in the bathroom.
I also rented a electric miter saw.

The funniest thing was that I had to remove the toilet and then reinstall it later.
I extended the toilet's drain pipe simply by loosening a flexible collar joint in the basement, pulling the pipes apart 3/4 inch and then tightening it all up again.

That is my nail gun story.

12 NAILS FIRED INTO HIS HEAD.. AND HE LIVED

What an idiot, I could think of better ways to off myself.

Never messed with a nail gun however when I was a kid my brother and I were fighting in the garage and ended up next to my Dad's tool box. I looked up and he had a staple gun sitting there so I took the staple gun and stapled my brothers ears to his head. LOL Boy was my Mother fired up.... I told her that he kept getting made fun of at school because his ears stuck out so I thought I would help him out by tacking his ears back. She failed to buy the story.

Working in Urgent Care for the past 21 years I have seen many nail gun injuries. Most commonly fingers being pierced with a nail.
The nails used for pneumatic nailing have barbs so they are difficult to back out, in fact I find it easier to push them through.

Thanks, Mike.

I was building a new newel post at the ranch. I had my fingers, what I considered out of the way.

The 16 guage finish nail, when fired, followed the grain of the hardwood. It bent up, over the opening of the post, right into my finger. That was pleasant, I don't care what anyone says.
