Paslode cordless framing nailers rely on a combustion to fire and they are safe, a three inch nail takes a lot more jamb than a bb does.
The technology is out there, the usefulness or budget to harness it isn't.
Lucky to fire a nail every two seconds with the Paslode, so that would limit it to replacing sniper rifles, then the resources and sales to bring the cost down to an acceptable level. Well I'm guessing there's more gas framing nailers than there are airsoft snipers
The solenoid alternative has just as long a wait before being able to fire.
I dare to hope that the next innovation will be in barrels, tight bore and miracle barrels are good, but what if the inside of the barrel was tight, shaped innovative and polished so smooth that it had near zero drag on the bb.
