Pretty cool but I wonder how many rounds you'd get out of it. I'm sure the metal is softer

 

[Bluez]

probably not too many.
but evcen it it lasts only 100 rds its still pretty cool

The author says he has a way to harden the nail futher too to last longer but I didnt follow up.

Nails make good guide rods for some smaller pistols.

the small nails work good when i need an impromptu blowgun.
