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 behind it. As one forum poster observed, it should be a DeWalt ‘Tack Driver’.

Go DeWalt – build it – I think it might sell aLOT better than the radio/charger – especially if even marginally functional!
that’s actually not an ar15, it’s an m16. i know, because it’s mine.
it’s not a tack driver, i have other guns for that
“M16″ is the military designation for the ar-15. It featured a fixed stock, non-adjustable rear sight, a triangular hand guard, and a full auto trigger group. If your rifle doesnt have these things its not an “M16″, its just an ar-15.
Well Dave, you might want to see whats been ciculating throughout all LE agencies in the country:

The ‘unamed agency’ is Sacramento SO.
I’ve seen the memo from Sacramento SO. Totally silly. I can’t believe someone took the time to type that up AND send it out to other law enforcement agencies.
Actually, it’s an M4 carbine because of the short hand grip and the short-ish barrel (16″). A real M-16 has a 20-24″ barrel and longer hand grip.
Cool, none the less.
It could be an M16 A4, barrel length has nothing to do with it. You have to see the internal parts to really tell.
M16? No. An M16 has rifle length handguards, a 20″ barrel (pictured is a 16″), and doesn’t come with a carbon composite lower (which shoot like junk, btw).
That’s an attempt at an M4 carbine forgery. If a dealer told you that it’s an M16, you’ve been duped.
Like that 3-shot burst?
my bad…that MAY be a 14.5″ barrel.
Anyway, enough of that. Just trying to straighten out some comments.
With all the laws looking to be passed that take away gun owners rights, a “tool” like that would be a nice altrnative to have around the house.
I once bought some ammo from a private party via the internet. He shipped it to me via UPS with the contents of the package listed as “single-use high-speed hole punches.”

In reference to “It could be an M16 A4, barrel length has nothing to do with it. You have to see the internal parts to really tell.” you are an idiot. the only difference between an M16 and an M4 mechanically IS the barrel (with short hand guards), the stock, and the carry handle. the lower receiver is the same for both.
I’m not entierly sure what that is the upper reciever is not that of an M4, which the carry handle should be removable. it is illegal for a civilian to own an M4. (gun laws require all rifles to be a minimum length of 26″ with a barrel length of no less than 16″) And not too many government agencies permit that kind of customization
Any Civilian Authorized Rifle Model M-16 or M-4 is an AR-15, that’s simply the Civilian Model, an M-16 is Illegal unless Modified with a Redone Reciever to make it Semi-Auto, Unless you have a Class-3 Liscence, which are Incredibly rare, and Finding a full auto-rifle Dealer, even with your Liscence, is still a Major Challange, the Article writer is Correct:AR-15.
I would buy one of these in a heart beat! Could you “accidentally” shoot a trespassing neighbor with one of these I wonder? Ha, Ha…
This IS NOT and M16 or M4. This a AR15
Soldier, you said: “I’m not entierly sure what that is the upper reciever is not that of an M4, which the carry handle should be removable. it is illegal for a civilian to own an M4. (gun laws require all rifles to be a minimum length of 26? with a barrel length of no less than 16?) And not too many government agencies permit that kind of customization” You can get a shortened weapon, and a full auto weapon. What you need to do is fill out a class-3 form 1, have it signed by your local Chief LEO, send it out to BATFE, with $200 for each of the restrictions put in place by the National Firearms Act of 1934, and then they process it, send back a stamp tax (which, from what I hear, takes a looooong time to get), and then you can purchase/modify, as the case may be, the desired firearms, and voila! A gun that people will say that you’re an idiot for having, because they haven’t taken the time to learn their gun laws. Moral of this story: Don’t call someone an idiot until you have all the facts, because someone from, oh say, Canada, may come in and show that you’re the one that’s actually the idiot for running their mouth when they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.
It is not an M-16 that is for sure M-4 or some variant near of it
shortened barrel and adjustable buttstock gives that away but since it’s a civilian model it is a AR-15 depending on which stay he/she lives in it could have been an M-4 of some type.
dave i hate to tell you this it is an M4A1 i should know because that is the weapon i am assigned. 5.56x45mm Colt armament built but is an AR-15 ( Armalite weapons industries)design created by Eugene Stoner of Armalite’s research and developement sector. effective to 200 meters but i wouldnt try anything past 175. it has terrible bullet drop at 300 meters (some 22 inches from straight aim point) and the round is too light for any long range shots, the wind easily blows it off course. i personally am an M-14 lover the 7.62x51mm boasts tremendous fire power and great accuracy to ranges triple that of an M-4. At 400 mm the bullet drop out of a full length M-14 barrel (~22 inches) is about 2.1 inches and it is less effected by wind.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Service members,
I believe we have discussed past the fact this is just a really cool looking tool. I am sure the public appreciates your passion for weapons.
Semper Fi
I just want the directions so I can build mine. Also, look what Dave Canterbury, outdoorsman/surivial expert did with a sling shot. Easy modification, and you can betcha I have one now.
I just want to know where to get mine!
I don’t care what kind of rifle it is…I WANT IT!
I’m going to try to make one , I have alot of spare parts around , its just too cool not to try
