You are wrong, nail guns are indeed fully automatic.

If the user is holding down the trigger...and the nose or discharge [muzzle] of the gun contacts or is depressed by the work surface, the gun will continue to fire until its empty.

No, you have to lift up and depress the nose (Safety mechanism) for each shot, or bump it per se. It will not shoot multiple fasteners per nose bump. It will not empty the clip by depressing the nose, and holding the trigger.

Ya but you and I both know, that when you get the unit in place where the blow back clears the nose guard and then bounces back to the work piece [this guys head]...its just like full auto...

Its like a pogo stick that fires every time it hits the ground...and can get into a viscious fast cyclic if your not paying attention...like falling off a building
