I think one of the differences is that we have to have a muzzle press on our nail guns, i.e the gun has to be pressed down before it will fire.  So no shooting nails at our friends.  ::)

BTW I love that DeWalt.  :drool: :D

That just makes it more challenging... now you have to sneak up on your friends to shoot them instead of doing it from the couch!  :D

It'd have to be one heck of a rubber band.  :o
