Nail'Em: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Nail guns are a common [[Improvised Weapon]] in fiction. Generally, they are portrayed as being analogous to firearms that shoot nails instead of bullets. In [[Real Life|reality]], nail guns have to be in direct contact with something to fire. Even if they have been modified to fire without being in contact with a surface, their accuracy at range ''sucks''. In other words, they make crappy projectile weapons. They make better melee weapons, since a nail gun is a blunt object that can stick out a long spike on contact, but this is hardly ever represented in fiction.
