DeWalt AR-15 Nail Gun: Great Gag!

For those of you that have not yet seen it, meet the DeWalt AR-15 nail gun:

Dewalt AR15 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, maybe it should be called a DeWalt ‘Tack Driver’.

When I originally posted this DeWalt AR-15 nail gun several years ago, I had no idea it would become such a popular post.  It has actually become one of the most read pages on the GunsHolstersAndGear.com website.  I still chuckle about how viral this photo has gone.

Dewalt AR15

Also, if you have not already done so, please read through the comments on this thread and join in on the discussion about this rifle.  There is quite a bit of lively chatter regarding its status as an M16, M4 or AR15.  Also, which version of which gun… for example:  if it is an M4, is it an M4A2 or M4A3.  I find it all humorous, and I hope you do as well.

I’m curious: have you ever done anything like this to dress up your gun?  Would you consider a Black & Decker paint scheme?  How about a Chevy or Ford styling?  The truth is a lot of people like to customize their firearms to give them a unique feel and flair.

Gun companies have cashed in on this in the past, creating limited or special edition runs of some firearms.  You may have seen some manufacturers rolling out everything from Texas commemoratives to zombie guns.  Sometimes these guns carry some collector value, but mostly they are simply an option for someone that wants to stand out from the crowd.  Since many gun owners are independent-minded, adding a little flair to their rifles makes sense.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to dress up one of your guns? Would you be willing to buy a limited run rifle with an unusual paint scheme?

Update

Thanks to one of our readers for sharing this video of the gun in action:

If you watch the video, you can see the gun is capable of full-auto fire. Hopefully, that will help settle some of the arguments in the comments section.

Special note for all of those who have been e-mailing me – I’ve got the Glock 19 holster page up now.

      “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.

          M16A3[edit]

          The M16A3 is a select-fire variant of the M16A2 adopted in small numbers around the time of the introduction of the M16A2, primarily by the U.S. Navy for use by SEAL, Seabee, and Security units.[97] It features the M16A1 trigger group providing “safe”, “semi-automatic”, and “fully automatic” modes.

          I was a Gunners mate Attached to Naval mobile construction battalion 1 and we had full auto a3. Do some research before trying to state a fact

        The triangular guard is on the M16 A1, generally referred to as the Vietnam era M16. The M16 A2 has a rounded hand guard. The front and rear sights are adjustable on both, and the trigger selection for the military is single shot, burst and safe. So by your definition the m16 models I was trained on and still use in the army and issued to us as M16’s aren’t M16’s. In truth it actually looks like a M4. Another weapon widely used by the military. All of these weapons can and are modified by the military to make them have a longer life. That is only my opinion. Even though if you look at the facts on wiki and other resources you will find it to be truthful and not full of hot air like what some others have posted.

        Actually as a weapons expert in the United States Marine Corps I can tell you that this resembles the M-16 A4 service rifle. The hand guards are circular and usually has rails for accessories. The barrel was reduced in length for close quarters combat. The collapsible butt stock was added for the same reason. That is just the physical appearance changes not including other modifications.

          You must be the worst weapons expert ever. Shorten barrelled m16?

          It looks exactly like an M4 carbine. Those are the weapons with shortened barrels and collapsed butt stocks.

          Congratulations. You’re an idiot.

            The shortened barrel is for CQB or CQC. Often referred to as an SBR and must be stamped or the owner have a class 4 or higher FFL. The Marine is right. The point is to be able to maneuver in close quarters. To call him an idiot is to show your lack of knowledge and understanding of what CQB requires. Stop reading guns and ammo and step to some serious literature civilian. The receivers are are the same. Most can interchange barrels for different needs. Usually chambered in .556, 7.62, and .308. More currently the .224

    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? 😉

    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.

    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.

    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.

    That is clearly an XM4-5 chambered in the highly-awesome 5.57 caliber (notice how its one bigger than the 5.56?) and limited only to tank mechanics in the Navy SEALs deployed to Iran last year in Team 28. If you kids were operators like me, you would have known that.

    I’m calling bullshit on this. for starters its not an M16/AR15 anything. If you want to be all douchey about weapons designations the M16, M16a1, M16a2, M16a3, M16a4, M4, and M4a1 are all specifically made rifles/carbines for the military and have specific features to model number that this custom rifle does not have. Its only an AR15 truly if its a civilian model made by colt and marked that way. its an AR type rifle. The other issue i have is how does it fire nails because unless you forgot how weapons work the only thing special about this weapon is it has a battery shoved in the mag well. how do you feed the nails? individually maybe. I say post a video of it firing because otherwise its just a nice AR with some yellow paint and a battery for some reason.

This, for me, is a great alternative in a big city I live in. I’ve wanted a gun for protection in my home and rather than killing someone, I can “nail” them. I noticed others say build it, build it. That’s why I am asking if this has been done?

    okay we can end this argument now I spent 6 years as a small arms repair technician for United States Marine Corps if it were a real gun it would be an m4 carbine. the internal workings for the m16 A2 A4 are the samethe only difference between the two are cosmetic changes today in a couple the Picatinny rail system which is on the A4 not the a2 and the replacement of the heat shields on the a4 compared to the a to which was widely used in Vietnam as well as the A1. now the M 4 instead of having a six inch barrel protruding from the heat shield it has a3 inch barrel the max effective range between the two is about 200 yards it has a retractable but stock and again if its fully automatic it is the m4a1 series if it has a closed heat shield is the m4A2 and as it is present in it is more closely related to the m4 carbine

    All AR rifles and carbines are select fire, its how the safety works. it moves from safe to semi. or safe – semi – burst. or safe – semi – full. anyone can put triggers in lowers, an M4A1 with a semi only trigger still says M4A1 on the side – I’ve seen it, the engraving doesn’t magically change

    The model number, like M4 or M16, are given by manufactures and the military. A custom built AR is called whatever the person who made it calls it.

    m16-20in barrel, mid length gas system front sight post, m4A1-same, with 16 inch barrel, m4a2-carry handle 16in carbine length, m4a3-flat top upper, no carry handle same as A2, it was originally called an AR-15 or (Automatic Rifle 15) by Stoner, the military designated it the m16, same as a beretta is an M92, a colt is an M11, a SAW is an M249, the M is just the military designation number, unless it’s a service weapon, full auto, select fire, carry handle, no carry handle, sbr, stupidly long, it’s still an AR15

            Colt then produced a semi-automatic version without the selective fire option. This civilian version was the AR-15, and notice that this was a civilian version, not one that the Military used.

            So, once again, you didn’t use the the AR-15 in the Military. Please do some basic research next time instead of making us “trolls” correct you.

Perhaps you may be confused based on their similarities, yet AR was started by Bushmaster who DOES NOT provide firearms for the military. That goes to another company for the production of M16 and M4 models. This is not trolling… your wiki link is also crap.

            You seem to be wrong on every point you tried to make,
            AR was not started by bushmaster. Ar’s were Started at the Armalite division of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation. AR is short for Armalite. and Bushmaster USED to make “good” Ar’s. Bushmaster was bought out by company who then CHEATED on deal and moved factory. this pissed off the original owner so much, he started wyndham weaponry on the very day that his “no compete” clause date expired with bushmaster. and that is the true bushmaster maker, not the guns that now have the bushmaster name. You should take your own advice and do some research 1st. And now it’s time for your 3rd edit. Bushmaster does not make excellent AR’s. way too many reasons to go into. so compare them with “excellent” rifles and you will see. bet you’ve never heard of polygonal rifling have you? more velocity and more accurate than any barrel bushmaster makes.

            I know it’s an old thread but this is the best answer so far.. I’m active duty Army and have been issued the M16A2 and M4. The “M” designation just means it’s the military version of the AR (named after the Armalite Rifle company). The M4 typically comes with Safe/Semi/Burst however there are some units who have them with full auto. The barrel lengths were originally different but now the civilian versions offer the shorter barrels as well. The original M16 was stamped as an AR15 with M16 also stamped on the mag well. So to clarify, some folks very well could have fired a full auto AR15 in the Army. Other than the sear assembly/fire control group, and an indentation on the barrel for the M203, the rifle (primary made by Colt now for the military) the exact same as the AR version. At one point the M4 was ahead of the game with a upgraded gas tube, buffer, and ramps but now there are so many variants of both that they are more less one in the same.

    I just can’t get over how many people that have posted on here thinking this is a real nail gun! The title even says great gag! Its a real gun with a battery shoved in the mag well for looks only. They must not really understand how a weapon is fed ammo.

    Here is a basic explanation.
    1. A loaded magazine is insertered into the magazine well (where the battery is).
    2. A round is chambered by either pulling the charging handle or sending the already locked back bolt forward.
    3. The trigger is the squeezed causing the firing pin to discharged the round.
    4. As the projectile and gas travel down the barrel, the round exits the muzzel and the gas goes into the gas tube causing the bolt to extract the spent casing and then returning forward feeding another round.
    5. Squeeze the trigger and repeat!

    You can plainly see the pin above the selector for the Auto Sear…. This Would indicate that the lower receiver is equipt with a1 style fire control parts and is most likely full auto with no burst capability. As for the m16 m4 debate …. Neither are correct! The top Rifle has a 16in barrel and a1 style non removable carry handle and therefore is not a true m4! And the bottom rifle has a 7.5in barrel and again is not a true m4 either! Both of these rifles are custom builds and can not truly be given the moniker of m4! However if these are in fact transferable weapons and not dealer demos than it could be possible that the lower receivers are m16 receivers! They probably belong to an ffl holder with a class3 and most likely ARE dealer demos in which case they are just AR15s that have M16 fire control parts installed built entirely with non military compliant uppers and old style 4 position telescopic stocks. Any self respecting M4 would have a Colt logo on its lower, a 14.5 in barrel with cuts for mounting accessories, a huge round handguards much bigger than normal carbine handguards, its carry handle would be removable, And it would fire in semi and burst only.

      I doubt it or you’d need to do some modification. A true AR that’s full auto is actually a different gun. That model is called the SAR-15. AR is an Armalite-15 rifle. A M-16 is a Model 16 rifle, and a M4 is a carbine. The way you reason it out, a Chevy Malibu is a race car because you can put a racing engine in it with some modification. Nope. I can put a carbine barrel on my 1851 Navy but does that make it a carbine? No. It’s still a revolver by antiquated standards, not by ATF standards, but even they don’t call it a carbine, then. The manufacturer calls a similar model a Buntline, but it’s not that, either, because I didn’t make it with the manufacturer’s approval. Do you understand? What’s the big deal, anyway?

        The difference in the Ar15 and m16 is a full auto Bcg,third pin that holds the additional seat.With the exception of the auto sear or all three models being full auto he’s right you can strip them all down throw them in a pile, mix and match the parts and come out with three diffrently configured rifles than you began with given that the lowers are equally equipped and you match the gas blocks with the correct length barrels.There is no modifications to make unless again you are adding the third pin and auto/ burst sear

          Unless and until you make a Franken-rifle, it is what it is and it isn’t what it isn’t. If someone’s trying to make the argument that an AR-15 is a M-16 and a SAR-15 just because you can modify the weapon, that’s a slippery slope and false. I can convert a blank gun into a firearm, but if I choose to keep it as a blank gun then it’s a blank gun, not a firearm. Also, I can easily make any recoil-action semi-auto firearm fully auto just by grinding 1 part for 2 minutes. That doesn’t mean I have a full auto firearm either. Things have names for a reason. To differentiate one thing from a different thing. That’s all I’m trying to say here.

    I did my basic trading for the US Army Reserves at Ft. Knox, in 1989. I also was issued an AR-15, full auto. I was 28 at the time, and had been a gun geek for years, way before the terms “gun” and “geek” were put together. I knew much of the history of the AR15 and M16.
    I thought it was so cool that I might have a gun that had been used in Vietnam, or as one of the early trials. Either way, it was an old gun, still shooting, and I wondered at its history.
    Lots of things were tried by the military, then put in training circulation when the trials were over. No point getting rid of something if it works, and the manual of arms is the same.
    Prior to deployment for Desert Storm, we were at Ft. Ord California. Many of the M-16s we were using, had chromed bolts and / or carriers. I asked the armorer about it, and he stated the were part of some durability trials they had been doing.

    He switched the upper receiver right after he put the hand guards back on . When he shows it again it is a completely different receiver. Play and rewind it , pay attention to the top of the receiver and the tip of the barrel . The video all you “gun experts” are arguing about is a lie . How “government issue ” do you look ? And you all are who stand at the ready to protect and serve ? WOW ! GO TEAM.

    I wish this was real, but instead of an 18V battery pack, a clip full of self-contained cartridges designed around the ability to hold only nails of various sizes (unless heavily modified, of course), mainly around 1/4″ or 1/3″ x up to 1-1/2″. I’ve actually designed and attempted to sell a line of a .22 cal. (another variant was 9mmPAK driven) powder actuated nail guns with revolving cylinders and tacks as the primary fasteners with frangible sleeves that disintegrate upon impact with a hard object like ply-wood. The tool looked like a snub-nose revolver with an orange tip, so like a high-quality airsoft gun. It was a tool at close range and a better weapon than a pellet gun at medium range or .22 Short at long range. Nails don’t actually fly straight after a few yards unless you put a special tail on them and bunch it up carefully as you load it into a cartridge or chamber so it deploys correctly. Look at blow-gun darts, for example. I did, but opted not to go that route in my design when it came to sales, since it’d increase cost, make it less likely to be credibly regarded as a tool and more likely to be regarded as a dual purpose device. A tool and weapon. The weapon part concerned me. Local cops don’t uphold the 2nd Amendment and actually retaliate against people for asserting that right, and they do so with the actual approval of all government branches as well as the majority of US citizens. Anyway, that venture was short lived. No sales were made and there are much better options for weaponry available. The next year I opted to simply buy a cheap Pietta 1851 Navy in .44 cal. Still no permit, background check or any other infringement pressed upon my 2nd Amendment right, but it performed better as a weapon. Especially when loaded with 45 grains of FFFG equivalent or 55 grains reground FFFFFG equivlent Hodgdon Triple Seven black powder sub (measured by vol. then compressed), .454″ di. Hornady lead ball (pressed so hard into the chamber it inverted to something like a hollow-point) and Winchester BP Magnum (pinched) 11 percussion caps, from a shortened 2″ barrel to around 8″ of 20% calibrated but well-made ballistics gel. Last year I made a semi-auto .25 cal pistol that uses my home made rounds similar in power and effectiveness to .22TCM. I also have a Sabre 3-in-1 spray for any defensive situation I might encounter that could be resolved with something that’s not lethal or seriously injurious. Sure beat the 99% capsaicin nonivamide powder I had in the 1st chamber of my ’51 Navy then all rounds in the magazine of a 9mmPAK front firing blank gun. Also made myself a slam-fire 12GA inspired by Royal Nonesuch and others. Anyway, thinking of nail guns as weapons is great if you’re really under scrutiny and facing threats of prison if you buy a firearm, but I think that’s about it…

        Nails, BBs and some firearm ammunition are sometimes put in clips. Most standard firearm ammunition are often put in magazines. I use the term clip to describe a type of projectile storage and feeding for a tool, not primarily a weapon, in no uncertain terms. Many manufacturers do the same thing. In this case, the term “clip” is the typical and correct wording.

    In California it will only drive up building costs more and more and more ! Carpenters will have to stop and reload every ten nails; It doesn’t take a U C L A economist to know a thirty round magazine clip from the mind of Kevin De Leon would drive 36 nails a second LOL.
