Hi all. I have a question - in the scene collapsing house (palazzo) in Venice there is a moment, where professional assassins uses strange thing?:) with nails or bolt... maybe somebody know, what sort of thing is this? (sorry, can't find image to illustrate)

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!

Bond: "I nailed him." LOL!!!
