1:55PM Nick Broughall | If Home Improvement was still on the air, this is exactly the kind of modified tool Tim Allen would have used to create an entire episode’s worth of grunting wombat noises. He may even have shot that sidekick of his, Al, for minutes worth of canned laughter.
Tool and machine gun fan David Wiggins created the mod in response to another machine-nail-gun he saw online. He didn’t think twice about it after having just picked up a new M16 (as you do).
