Nailgunhand_3

Apparently 14,800 nail-gun accidents occur each year. Who knew? We can't seem to tear our eyes from the ponderable X-rays posted on thisoldhouse.com. Check it out while we mull over the question: just how did that nail get into this part of the head?—Abby Seiff

eric david..."someone I know nailed [pun intended :)] themselves in the eye with a nail gun"

was that from CSI: Miami??

cause someone got shot in the eye (well just missed the eyeball itself, but did go in the eye socket)

which is kinda impossible to do for two reasons...
1. it was a air-nail gun (with no air compressor attached)
2. the safety pressure switch (at the end that insures that it is touching wood, no wood no nail) was there, and not depressed.
