sorry for the bad pun :oops:
I bought one of those things for a project, it’s a very scary device 8O
You would have figured that he would have stopped after maybe two or three nails :lol:
Oh well.
I’m not sure he had much choice :? Looks like the thing was in some sort of auto mode, probably fired off the six nails before he knew what hit him. All the ones I have used have a saftey mechanism that stops the gun firing unless the nail apature is placed on a hard surface - I guess in this case that was his head. :oops:

I found it's easy to get into a multiple firing situation due to the recoil bouncing the gun off the surface - scared the **** out of me. Porter-Cable ships them in that mode, and you have to call them up and ask them to ship a safer trigger arrangement where you have to first contact the surface and then pull the trigger to fire a nail. I guess they think that shipping the safer trigger would be an admission that the things are dangerous as delivered. If you search nail guns on Amazon it pulls up the tools and also an attorney site [http://www.nail-gun-accidents.com/](http://www.nail-gun-accidents.com/)
:evil: Mel Gibson might want movie rights :twisted:
OSHA (and common sense) requires the safety on all guns above a certain size nail which is essentially all guns in construction. I do allot of my own construction and have always used a nail gun to preserve my arm, which is a big, BIG benefit. The newer ones do have an “auto” feature where as long as the safety is depressed it will keep spitting out nails. Most framers use this method since it saves time and it prevents CTD injuries to the trigger finger. It is hard for a weekend user, like myself, to get used to, however. Nothing short of a winning lotto ticket could part me from my Senco gun though. BTW, I don’t work in construction or sell the things, I’m a safety consultant. If you are careful, the only down side is firing the gun scares the bejibbers out of my Black Lab. He even ran away last summer once when I was using it and if you knew him, you wouldn’t believe me. He’s asleep at my feet right now so he came back! :lol: :lol:

so funny :lol:
so funny :lol:I'm still trying to figure out if the punch line is "Lethal Weapon" or related to crucifixion :?
I think I will stay quiet on this one :roll:
Admiting, I had a weak moment of thought. ( sure!)

Crucifixion is very funny, just think of Life of Brian
:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: That was my first guess, but then I started giving you the benefit of the doubt…
just think of [b][u]Life of Brian[/u][/b] :lol:The BBC was going to re-release LOB [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3563405.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3563405.stm) but I didn't see it in a "cinema near me" yet.
