I plan to NOT shoot myself with the Nailgun this week. So far so good. Keeping my fingers off the trigger when not in use, watching how I aim it, etc. Had another ricochet nail bounce off a steel plate yesterday--bounced off that, hit my thumbnail, bounced off thumb and hit my lower lip. Double ouch (!!), but no penetration, no blood. I expelled some colorful profanity, though, and growled about needing an 'effing' cigarette. Co-workers lowered their heads and kept quiet--they know not to wisecrack when I'm in pain, by God. You don't wanna sass an angry man while he's holding a nail gun. Heh heh.
And we shall call him "twitchy" when he's using the nail gun.. That nail gun has it out for you sir...plan accordingly..
