I just need a few guidlines on the merging process as it does seem fairly complicated and it does mention "experienced editor" any help?--billbeee 05:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, these tools are commonly refferred to as Ramsets in the US as well. Also should be mentioned that there is a version of this tool which the firing action is initiated by striking it with a hammer. I would post a picture but i dont know how to do so without posting copyrighted material. - emutiny 7/25/07

Moved the reference to "Ramset guns" to the first paragraph as its apparently not specific to Australia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.3.72 (talk) 18:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the line about these tools being considered firearms in Australia. If someone can provide a link to a source that specifically identifies powder actuated nail guns as falling into one of Australia's regulated classes of fire arms, please do so and restore this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.228.69.114 (talk) 19:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A useful reference for the velocity tables is

California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1692. Power Loads

Which can be found here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/1692.html

One should also note that the stated velocities are referenced to a ballistic slug and not a fastener. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.22.234.92 (talk) 09:13, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Amazed not to see an "In popular culture" section with this [1] would anyone object? ciphergoth (talk) 19:58, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't. This is nothing but trivia. See WP:IPCEXAMPLES. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 20:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
