I would have expected nailguns to fire from the open bolt; guess not. Since I wouldn't rely upon such behavior, it probably doesn't really matter but if they do fire from the closed bolt it's probably a good thing to know.

One of my cousin's son shot himself in the stomach with a nail gun TWICE!! He is also not the brightest bulb on the tree in addition to not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, etc.

He's been in prision a couple times mostly for drinkin', drivin' and taking drugs. One of his brothers is about the same. He's a hardcore inmate now. The third brother is an engineer with a masters degree and never been in trouble. Go figure? My cousin was obviously not mother of the year.

I guess it's still better than waking up married to a Reno cocktail waitress or topless dancer. Well, a Reno cocktail waitess, anyway. Not that I'd know...

Lucky for him his son seems to have inherited HIS brain from the other side of the family.

He was skylarking with mates over a few beers

So, thus really was a "hold my beer and watch this..."
