What is a "nail gun"?
A nail gun is a power tool used to drive nails into wood, drywall, or other materials quickly and efficiently. It uses compressed air, electricity, or a battery to force nails into surfaces with minimal effort. Nail guns are often used in construction, carpentry, and DIY projects where large amounts of nailing are required, as they save time and reduce the physical effort needed compared to using a hammer. Different types of nail guns are available for specific tasks, such as framing, finishing, or roofing.
Examples

She grabbed the nail gun to finish the project faster than using a hammer.
