A framing gun is a nailer that is capable of driving nails into 2x4s for house framing. Not picture framing. :roll:

That can happen easily if you are a dolt. a buddy of mine put one into the side of his knee and locked up the joint. we were nailing a 2 x 4 partition wall, he was kneeling in it and the gun bounced up and he got himself in the side of the knee right at the joint. That was a good 4 years ago, and he still has problems with that knee sometimes.

something like that happened when my parents house was being framed. A friend had volunteered to help with the framing and he was using a framing gun. He and another guy were hanging the fascia board up on the eave of the house. So the friend fired the gun, and apparently it fired 2 times in a row. the second nail bounced off the nail that had entered the wood and went right in the other guys hand right between his index finger and thumb. It didn't look pretty at all.

It's not photoshopped, but that story isn't the truth. In the story, the guy implies that the nail was shot out of the gun, hit something and bouced away, hit something else, and landed in his finger. If that were the case, the nail would be all kinds of FUBAR, bent out of shape, scratched, dulled, etc. And what did he hit that could *possibly* ricochette (sp?) a nail like that instead of the nail shooting in and sticking? Those nails penetrate pressed, treated main support structures and brick. Why isn't the nail bent from hitting things strong enough to withstand a friggin nail gun? If the nail were flying as fast as it would have been from the nail gun, even bouncing twice, it would have gone deeper into the finger if it hadn't simply ripped apart such a small piece of skin that's holding it in place and gone straight through. Even then, it would have had to move REALLY fast for him not to have gone "oh sh|t!" and moved. I dunno about you, but if I'm hammering away with a nail gun (and I have many many many times), I'm not going to stand there with a nail bouncing all over hell and back.

I was trying to drive a screw into some drywall at eye level years ago with just a screw driver. There were three power screwdrivers on site, but they were being used and I wasn't going to stand there when I could be working. So I grabbed a screw from one of the boxes, grabbed the screw driver out of my back pocket, and tried driving it in. I tapped head of the screw using the handle of the screw driver to start the hole, which I thought would work. It usually does. However, this time it didn't. When I put pressure on the head of the screw and started to twist, the tip of the screw broke out of the drywall and the screw fell to the floor. In almost slow motion, the screw driver shot forward under my pushing it, and it shot into my thumb. It went through one side of my thumb, just past the bone, out the other side, and into the wall. I let go of the screw driver and stood there for a second staring at my thumb being pinned to the wall with the screw driver... :Q I was like "oh sh|t, that's gonna hurt... oh sh|t oh sh|t oh sh|t!" My granddad who I was working for saw me pull the screw driver out of the wall and yelled at me to go get my thumb looked at. As I was walking off, all I could hear was him cussing that he'd have to rehang a new section of drywall because of the blood.

I still have almost no feeling on the fingerprint-side of that thumb to this day.
