[edit] the parts of a nail gun

Can anybody edit the main article so it tells a little bit about the parts of a nail gun, and which parts tend to fail first, and need replacement? Perhaps somebody could post an image of the parts of a pneumatic nailgun, properly taken apart (and enlarged or magnified), and then later put back together again?


[edit] Moved links

I've moved the links to the talk page for the time being. Wikipedia is not a repository of links. Bkkbrad 00:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Direct/indirect pneumatic.

I do not have enough experience with nailguns to know, but dont most air powered guns use an indirect method with a piston?

[edit] Can a nail gun be used as a weapon?

In movies sometimes it can, but what about real life? Are there any stories of nail guns being used by criminals or for self defense? Mieciu K 12:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I dont think a nail gun has any real killing range, unless moddefied, I thinkShaun Churchman 02:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Register nail guns and only crimminals will have nail guns!

Don't see why it couldn't be used as a weapon. We've been killing each other with most anyting we can get our paws on since we climbed out of the ooze. There is a great little tongue-in-cheek video about registering nail guns, I think it was made in Vermont. It went around the internet(s) in 2004. Might be on YouTube now.

[edit] Powder actuated

I have edited the powder actuated tools wiki just to give a bit more information regarding those specific tools.

Also in repsonse to the above question yes most pnuematics do have a piston.

In response also to the parts that fail and need replacing it depnds what make the tool is. It will vary between manufactirers some have rubber 'O' rings that require replacemtn where as other tools have metal rings that do not. So it would be hard to explain how to take one apart without listing every make and model and I only know about the ones in the orange boxes. (Paslode or Spit)

[edit] Pop culture plague

Half of this article is obscure pop culture references. Normally, I'd just delete them en masse, but since there's limited other content on the page, I'll leave it alone for now. As in all other pop culture laundry lists, there's no criteria aside from the author's personal bias (in this case, towards video games), and the list can never be maintained in any meaningful way. These lists serve no purpose other than allowing the author to show off their obscure media knowledge and have no place in this (or nearly any other) Wikipedia article.James A.

[edit] Nail Gun Modes?

The second "mode" is extremely unsafe. Someone using a nailer with the trigger held down runs the risk of bumping it against something like a leg and seriously injuring themselves. I'm going to remove that section. Deltacom1515 00:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restoring the deleted pop culture section?

Hi.

I noticed said section was deleted with the following rationale: "due to zero attempts to comply with wikipedia standards for inclusion in article. This is a mindless list of trivia". However, what if one restored it and then made such attempts? Or is it simply impossible to make it comply with the policy? mike4ty4 (talk) 09:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
