    oh also nail guns dont fire nails, you bump the tip where you want the nail while also holding the trigger (or place the tip and then pull the trigger). You would have to pull the head tapper thingy back and find a way to jam it like that, then you could just pull the trigger and fire nails. However, the nail is going to come out of the gun flipping. I have had low psi nail wars with my stupid friends plenty and the nail NEVER flies predictably.

    @stronger compressor

    yes and no. The yes part is simply yes. The no part is the gun has parts that are rated for a msx psi and when you "overclock" the psi it will start to break the gun. My framing nailer gives me a nice clean nail at about 100 psi. My compressor goes to 300 psi. My gun has a max psi of 120. If I cranked it to 300 I could seriously hurt someone (including myself if the gun blows up in my face) but it will definitely damage (at the very least) the seals.

    Is it possible to just use a stronger compressor with a nailgun?

    Quake's nailgun always seemed more like a flechette gun. Something like that would probably fire sabots that strip away from the projectile in the air. Hence it would be a real gun that does a lot more damage than a nailer tool. There are lots of gun designs that shoot flechettes.

    I could get a nailgun to fuck stuff up with little effort, but not a battery powered finish nailer. My framing nailer with the compressor cranked would be something very painful to stand in front of, even if the nail didn't hit you point first it would still do damage.

    I always thought the Quake nailgun was not really a real-world nailgun. But more a special weapon that throws big nail-like bullets at subsonic speed...

    I wonder if the SR3 weapon designer had based it on the Armed & Dangerous one or if it was thought up independently?

    its funny to see that in RL the nails from a nailgun even bounce
    right off of a cardboard box from 2feet away

    .

    on the shark-gun... saints row 3 actually has the same weapon

    Army of darkness uses chainsaws and a boom stick + zombies, that was a movie.

    Doom uses almost the same thing, but different concept this and that.

    exactly, its just like what GB said.

    a quite recent example of this is the evil dead remake, where someone gets possessed and starts shooting at the two remaining survivors with a nailgun


    everybody knows nailguns cant actually 'shoot' nails several feet through the air,
    especially not with so much force and accuracy you can kill someone with them...

    but its still a cool idea, that you could actually shoot nails with a nailgun,
    and a nailgun would function like a gun that fires nails.

    .

    realism? there is no realism in a nailgun functioning like a gun that fires nails.
    but its an awesome idea, and in the end thats what matters

    I think there are movies where people are killed with nailguns, and few viewers question it. You find a lot of that stuff in video games, too. In Quake, you can hit someone with an axe and they are barely scratched... you can rocket jump...

    @stop comparing stuff in games to RL

    heard, but I can't be the only person that would immediately recognize it as being a gun that might shoot 10 feet and the nail would not even mildly scratch you. See, what I'm saying? There always has to be at least some basis in reality.

    You've finished some realky nice models using my reality critiques.

    @gypsy
    ah who cares if the real model is a finisher, it looks neat.
    its just about the design of the nailgun.

    i can always change the design a bit to make it look like it fires bigger nails.
    its just about the general design of the nailgun that i like

    stop comparing stuff in games to RL

    .

    @primal
    of course it will pack a lot more punch then it does in RL
    and sure, when the model is finished i could look into rigging 2 copies of it up as a replacement for the nailgun in DP.

    im not sure yet what ill actually do with it once done.
    might both script it for SL AND rig it up as replacement for nailgun in quake
