    wimpiest nail gun I have ever seen. Pressure must be extremely low besides being rigged so he can decide when a nail comes out or not. But it it fun to watch.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I'm not entirely sure that the nails are actually coming out of the gun, and not popping up out of the "board" when he puts the gun on it.

    Maybe not. But I still like Penn because he is a Libertarian. [:D]

    It's a nailgun that only releases a nail when slammed into the board.

    You can press the trigger all you want, and it does nothing but sound like it fires.

    If you took off the airhose, and slammed the gun into the board, it would release the mails anyway.

    Therein lies the trick.

    You can also see it if you watch the nails closely. At some point, it doesn't look like the nails go far into the board. but it does look like the nails are like 6" nails, that go halfway into the board.
    I believe it's more like a 3-3?" nail that manually slams ?" into the board.
    You can see one nail "get bent" when he lifts the nailgun up.


    But I enjoyed the show too.
