Overview
Standard nailgun ammunition
Nails exist so you have a gun before you have gunpowder. They come out of metal fragments with no bench at all, so keeping a nailgun fed costs you nothing but a few minutes at the furnace.
The gun is weak at range. Nails drop fast and hit softly, so you win close fights against nakeds and bow users and lose most of them past a short distance. Think of it as a recycler-run gun, not something to take into a monument fight.
The classic moment: you are at a small monument recycling components and someone runs at you with a spear. A full mag of nails settles that. A player holding a doorway with a waterpipe and handmade shells usually wins, though, so do not push into one.
Once you have a revolver and a stack of pistol bullets, the nailgun goes into a box and rarely comes back out.
