This is not an AR-15 asaault rifle...

[Archae]

It's a nail gun, used in construction.

1. Actually, it's still a gun.

It was not converted into a tool, it was just painted to look like this. They show it being fired in the video at your link.

2. Telltale sign, Dewalt label.

3. You could still kill somebody with that thing.

4. And this is.

6. Okay, now *that* is scary.

Couldn't you have posted a trigger warning?

Geesh.

Those little beady eyes and that deceptively innocent red bow on a death-dealing killing machine holding a deceptively innocent death-dealing killing machine.

Takes terror to a whole 'nother level.

Think Pink. And die from lead poisoning.

9. Symptomatic of the dangerous Guns As Toys phenomenon.

That creepy Hello Kitty assault rifle gives you a huge hint as to why there are so many accidents involving guns there days. The pro-gun militants spew a lot of noise about proper training, but the obvious fact is that there are many people who shouldn't be anywhere near a firearm. Things aren't going to get any better until a bunch of tough restrictions are in place, and a whole bunch of individuals do some growing-up.

10. No, it's a rifle. Watch the video at the bottom of your link.

It's just made up to look like a tool, as was fully explained in your link.

11. aside from it being really stupid, it's completely impractical.

having worked construction, very rarely do you have an opportunity to shoot nails into clear flat surfaces.

you are angling the damn nail gun around to get a good shot, most of the time in very cramped spaces.

And if you are doing roof work, which is very repetitive, haling that thing around would be a colossal pain in the ass.
