I had one of those big staple guns at my station when I worked for a cabinet company. A buddy up the line would want to have staple gun fights once in awhile and he was probably 50' away from my area. The night I seen this big staple gun under my bench I was hoping he'd try his game soon. The next night I was being pelted by staples, got down behind my wall of drawer boxes, switched hoses to the bazooka stapler and stood up for war.

This thing shot staples at least 100' inside the building and set off a civil staple guns war throughout our department as my "collateral damage" was taking out others until I got it dialed in for accuracey, so I had the biggest gun that could reach out and touch anybody in my dept. I had more steel flying my direction than ever....you could hear the lil guns going chink, chink, chink blasting staples in huge rainbow arch fashion and my gun was very distinct....chunka, chunka, chunka, even at 25'-50' mine would draw blood when the staples landed right and that slowly took folks out of the fight and ultimately declared me the winner since I was the last standing....who says big guns cant win a fight

I do not condone that practice now, but then we were all 19-22yr having fun to make the night go by better.

Which is why they call him "Humper" to his face and "Senco Fastener Products Display" or "Aisle 5" to his back.
