Real, not real: who cares? Still funny as heck! Love the text accompanying the picture, too.

Anto, from someone who spent many years carrying an M-16, that is not one. Alex is correct that it is an M-4. This is most noteable by the adjustable stock and shorter barrel length.

True it’s not April 1st “John E” but a sense of humor usually carries over into every day of the year. They would never really make a nail gun like this, to many people at the work place already use the ones they do have to shoot at other people, totally ignorant ones!

Dave (not the one), I am calling bullshit on you, you are full of crap.
Oh and for the record, that is an M4, not an M16. I would like to call bullshit that it is even an M4, but I can’t see the fire switch.

[...] Unfortunately, the buzz on the ‘net says it’s fake, and apparently the image has been floating around the intertubes for a while. Still: this one heck of a clever, well executed project. There’s a guy who claims to be the man behind the stunt here. [...]

I work on aircraft at tinker in OKC. I know some sheet metal
workers that would like to have something like this out there.
Since it is a government job, they could sit in the break room,
drive rivets at 200m and never get up. And the next great thing about it is there coffee would get cold either.

Awesome work, probably would have gotten that instead of my new air-nailer if i had seen it on the shelf at the H-D. Is the stock off a Tipman 98 Custom painball gun? Remindes me of my friend’s one. And you made hackaday by the way.

Dave (a different one), thanks for speaking up on the source! I looked around on the web to see if I could find an original, but there were a lot of different hits. What is the link to the “Nail Gun” on your website?

How ’bout giving them to engineers in the army. I can’t think of any military use for a nailer, but it sure would be cool

A buddy of mine sent me the link to this, as it was pinched off my website. That’s (my) real gun, and it shoots real bullets.

To Bill Bradford - close, it’s not an AR15, it’s an M16. (NFA registered, etc) otherwise, you’re right. I put some yellow furniture on, and stuck a sticker on it. The battery is a 20 round magazine that I epoxied into a dewalt battery casing.

Yep. I have an earlier version, camo color. Made by COLT. Works fine.

Since the barrel of a gun is made to spin a bullet, maybe they could use this as a screw gun as well

Keep it fun ….. we can all dream with out Bill throwing salt
