really hurt a guy. I was working on a little project and got out my nail gun to fasten some boards together. After a few nails the gun stopped working. Oh shoot, a jam. I unplugged the air line from the gun and started to try to unjam the gun, thinking that the gun was disconnected from the compressor and was no longer capable of firing. Boy was I wrong. Poking with a little screw driver at the jam and much to my surprise the gun fired a nail. The nail passed through my hair and embedded its self in a cardboard box on a shelf behind me only missing my face by a few inches.
What I discovered is that when you press the gun down that takes off the safety. You then pull the trigger and a charge of air goes into the cylinder. Then even if the nail doesn't shoot the cylinder remains charged and the safety is no longer useful. The nail can then fire at any time all by its self if it gets unjammed, how long it can wait I don't know.
I don't know if this is useful info for any one here but I sure have more respect for the nail gun.
