Oh, yeah, a nail gun. Quite a common power tool in DIY stores and building sites. Hours of fun to be had from them

Although you won't find one that actually shoots nails through the air! You have to place it against a wall or floor for it to drive nails out as that's horribly dangerous; the movies lie to us!
