Re: Nailgun injuries soar among weekend warriors

That's only IF (and a big "if" if you'll notice) it does not have the capability of mounting a bayonet (how many idiots in the California legislature did it take to come up with THAT????)

Loading thread data ...

something as simple as DUCT tape will defeat the contact tip

and firearms have a safety interlock to remove the trigger from service too dont forget.

But nailguns would technically be semi auto although i dont want to check i'm almost sure mine at least wont empty all 100 nails out if the contact tip is held down 1 squeeze one nail

BUT thats getting off topic

Most body armor, Level II - III, without a ceramic insert...will NOT stop a nail from a good nail gun. It will however slow it down a bit and make it easier to pull out of your anatomy. Simply tear the armor off and the nail comes with it.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

The Bloods and the Crips have a nasty reputation for drive by bayonetings here in LA

Great words, but LL is a fictional character created by Robert Heinlein. The baby is almost 2 and I still havent had to change a diaper!

RH made a good point, nevertheless.

So lets hope you never speak a quote from Mark Twain, or Shakespear etc.

Or the Bible for that matter.

So, Mark Twain and Shakespear were fictional?

You have a point there.

Their works were. Unless you live in the Bay area where Fairies are commonly encountered.......

Then we have Poor Richards Almanac...and so forth.

Indeed.

LL (one of my favorite quotes, btw) is clearly and unabashedly fictional, but there is archeology to support a number of the named characters in the Bible.

"When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." (The Twins)

The Biblical David did much the same thing in 1 Samuel 21:10-15

Don't forget the "21 nail gun salute" on the TV show, "Home Improvement"

Arrivederci, Binford (22:50) (Originally aired October 13, 1993) Tim has troubling grieving after Mr. Binford dies, opting to play darts and basketball with the boys rather than talk about his feelings. The boys of K & B Construction return to "Tool Time" to dispense some on-the-job grooming tips and Tim honors the show's creator with a 21-nail gun salute.
