I have one of the nail guns that use a .22 blank.........the kind you load the nail and the blank and "whap" the top of it with a hammer. I am kind of nervous when I do this, and I am using it the way it is designed to be used............... it does drive 2-1/2' nails all the way flush in a 2X4 and into concrete..............

I agree with Johnny DONT DO IT unless there is some way to detonate it with no one near or not behind cover.............it dont take much of anykind of powder to kill, maim etc.
