If have to. I hate making mistakes but the chance to un-do it would be something I couldn't miss.
I'm kinda the same way.
If I fugg it up, I'm the one that's gonna fix it.
Ive pinched the chit outta that area though, and its WAY more sensitive than it oughta be. Jus sayin.

I've got myself a few times with the drywall gun trying to screw slammers blind from the opposite side of the wall
Shot meself with the Paslode gun putting in queens for an addition at the house once. Right in the Palm of the hand.
Thankfully, ive never screwed myself to anything that required unscrewing.

My best friend nailed 3 of his fingers together on his left hand with a framing nailer back when he was doing construction. He said it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Sorry.
Queens are what I was taught to be a secondary brace between the rafter and the joist in a roof/ceiling support.
Main beams upward to rafters from joist were called king braces. Most vertical members. Then queens are more angled. Maybe I am mistaken. I'm a jackleg carpenter.
Was taking in a covered rear porch to make it a den area for the kids to watch tv and be hellions without disturbing the rest of the house.:p

Ive heard stories. Seen compound fractures from falls etc. Got lucky when I was young and helped with construction while I was in high school/trade school.
Got hurt worse from drunken idiocy back then.
Did catch a cutout door frame with nails in the left rotator cuff. Poked right in between the socket and ball. Not a good time.

So I'm sending this Echo 360T with a young guy I know whos just getting started doing tree work. Good kid.
Hes got a new 355T ordered as well with a 14" bar.
Seems to be a good saw.
Cleaned and kitted the carb. Put in a new recoil rope. Wrapped some Teflon tape around the fuel line where it goes in the tank.
Starts easy. Has tons of compression.
I hope he does well with it.

Dam slacker!
Ive been in those plants.
Most of those guns are automatic, as long as you keep the trigger held down, they fire as long as you have the safety on the wood.
They put 19 bazillion nails/staples into ALL the framing members now.

I liked it, just didnt see myself needing it that much.
Ive got an Echo CS306 that I bought the same day as that one. Its a small rear handle saw. Way more comfortable for limbing on the ground.
Not a power house by any stretch, though its about to get a muff mod and some timing advance. Hoping that Will help.
Ive got the PM6A and a Homie XL2A for the climbing stuff if I'm stupud enough to get my fat azz back up there.

Keeping it in the trailer for now because it's a dry place to work on it lol. The pics aren't that great, but it's what I got. Not too bad for $500 lol.View attachment 279607 View attachment 279608 View attachment 279610
Sweet! We call that version the *N130, where * would be VZ in your case because of the V6 petrol iirc. We got what seems like 10 different versions as used imports ex Japan so needed to differentiate them more than "92, it's a 92 I said!".

i built the floors and id go through a box of 8s and a box of 16s a day
i would nail the edges of the sheeting and then go back and nail the centers and could do a 12 by 64 house in about 5 minutes
i didnt have rounded fingers they was caloused flat across the middle to pinky fingers from holding the nailguns all day
we ran senco nailguns there and mine was the only automatic in the shop i had 2 nailguns i ran everyday plus a set of spares when mine needed worked on
that place is why my back is so messed up as well

I'm going to bed.

GFYs
