While this might look like a nail gun, trust me: it isn't

dewalt-16-nailgun.jpgWhile I'm sure that DeWalt makes a very high-quality nail gun that's perfect for any job that could be completed using a nail gun, this is not it. No, this is an M16 assault rifle that's decked out to look like a DeWalt nail gun. Of course!

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.
Fortunately, I think it's safe to assume that no one will ever confuse this for a nail gun and blow a series of bullet holes in their new porch. But you never know.

I remember seeing this thing a year or so ago on the internet. I didn't have a clue it was real. HAHAHA.

Just make sure it doesn't blow more than one hole per squeeze of the trigger. Or you might end up in prison like the guy that had a misfire.

It is a little dangerous because practice weapons will often have brightly colored slides, stocks, etc...

Hopefully, no one will pick it up assuming it's loaded with simunitions or the like. Fortunately, many of these products like RAP markers and simunition conversions seem to use blue and not yellow hardware.

Looks more like an M4 Carbine to me, than an M16
