NEVER walk around with your finger on the trigger of a nail gun

Did this brilliant stunt at work today. Its amazing what kinda mess a ring shanked 16d framing nail can make when pulling it out with a hammer

cleaned up a little...

It probably dont look too bad, but this sucker went deep. I imagine it isnt going to feel to good in the morning

Shot myself in the kneecap with a 1 3/4" staple many years ago. Had all the safety garbage wired for full auto. It hurts a lot more coming out than going in.

Thats what pissed me off most about the whole thing, I am constantly telling everyone else to keep their finger off the trigger
