For those of you that have not yet seen it, meet the “DeWalt AR-15 nail gun.”
Someone released a photo of their “AR-15″ rifle made up as a “DeWalt” nail gun.
Personally, I love the “originality” and the “funny” story with it.
This DeWalt Nail Gun can drive a 16-D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards, making construction a breeze. Sit in your lawn chair and build a fence!
Just get your wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with a cold drink – and when she has the board in the right place,
just fire away.
With the hundred round magazine, you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading.
After a day of fence building with the new DeWalt Rapid fire nail gun, the wife will not ask you to build or fix anything else, ever again!
And it’s for everyone who would rather not have a gun in the house! In view of the recent Supreme Court ruling, sales of this new product
may skyrocket.
Washington thinks they are going to take away our guns, so check this out. A nail gun that you don’t even have to register, or have licenses for!
And, you don’t have to worry about them being concealed!
Doesn’t that make doing home improvement projects sound fun?
The photograph “displayed” above has intrigued many “power tool buffs and firearm aficionados,” but the item “depicted” is not a product of the DeWalt corporation, or any other “tool or firearm” manufacturer, it isn’t a “real” power tool, it doesn’t “fire” nails, and it isn’t a “weapon” that legally skirts applicable laws regarding the “sale, use, or ownership of firearms.”
The “DeWalt Assault Nail Gun” is nothing more than a tool themed “M-16.”
David Wiggins, the “creator” of the weapon, was in the process of “fixing” up his M-16 and decided to put a “fun” spin on it.
He had seen a “picture” of one someone else had “done” in 2003 and felt he could do a “better” job.
This “rapid-fire nail gun” is a standard ArmaLite AR-15/M-16 semi-automatic rifle, outfitted with “parts” from various DeWalt power tools.
This “hybrid” creation sprang from the “imagination” of David Wiggins, who told Toolmonger.com how he came to create it:
“I’d just picked up a new (to me) M-16 and was in the process of fixing it up a little. It needed new furniture anyway, so I sourced the safety yellow stock, guard, and grip. Then, I went down to the DeWalt factory service place a few miles from the house to get a sticker. There, I saw they had brand new battery casings, so I picked up one of those too. I got home, found a short magazine , and got to work. I traced an approximation of the size hole I’d need in the top of the plastic casing, and slowly dremeled away the plastic I didn’t need. Once done, I epoxied the magazine body into the hole and quickly assembled everything so that I could make sure it all looked right before the epoxy set up. Once the epoxy cured, I took the mag back apart, cleaned up some of the bigger resin boogers, and then masked the top of the mag and hit it w/ some mil-spec glossy black coating (aka Krylon).”
Dave included some additional pics.
I’m sure there are plenty of you out there who already know that this is not a “real” nailing tool. Nonetheless, the “imagination” used to create this “fake” gun is still entertaining.
Given the “attention and acclaim” this has gotten, maybe DeWalt will actually “look” into making something like this in the future. There is always “wishful” thinking.
Fans of HBO’s “The Wire” might recall the scene in which Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, a soldier in Marlo Stanfield’s drug-dealing organization, visits a “Hardware Barn” store to buy a nail gun, for the purpose of “nailing shut” the doorways of abandoned buildings in which the Stanfield gang has “hidden” the bodies of murdered rivals, and engages a sale clerk in a “discussion” of the available product choices using “terminology” reminiscent of a firearms purchase:
