When I used to frame houses I saw nailguns do some funky stuff. Once, I was placing blocks in the middle of a 10' tall 2x4 wall and after nailing one nail the top of the gun bounced off of the 2x4 that was 16" away which bounced the gun back against the first 2x4 that i was nailing and fired another nail then bounced again. Well, after that the gun began to bounce from 2x4 to 2x4 with nails flying in all directions. After about 7-10 nails were fired I finally got the gun under control and realized I had a nail that riccochet off the concrete wall in my leg, not real deep but still in my leg.

The second time I shot myself a nailgun misfired while nailing a 2x4 plate. The nail went into my finger while I was holding a 2x4 that I was nailing to the plate. This one required a hospital trip...

The third time i nailed myself was another misfire 5 minutes after the boss told us to be careful... his insurance was just canceled because someone nailed their foot to the floor with a ringshank nail the week before. This one was like the last where the nail misfired and popped out of the 2x4 and hit my finger, yes the same one. More hospital time on MY dime this time...

Then there was the time a guy fell into my nailgun and a nail bounced off his forehead and through his eye... That sucked BAD...

Anyhoo, back to coding HTML... better than working outside I guess...
