Australian police are still searching for clues in the death of
27-year-old Chen (Anthony) Liu, whom homicide squad detectives believe
died from injuries sustained from a high-powered nail gun. In this
police handout image made available April 24, 2009, the X-ray clearly
shows 34 nails embedded in Chen's skull. Chen's decomposing body was
discovered in Sydney's Georges River in November 2008.

Back of neck, sir. If your anatomy is dodgy you're more likely to cripple

Nail gun to head more likely used as torture than execution. Execution better
done with radial arm saw.
Make sure you wear goggles and ear defenders.
If you _really_ want to upset someone, rout out both his kidneys. Use a
backing board to prevent tear-out.
Bessey do a nice range of scrotum clamps. Soft-touch.. won't hurt your
thumbs.
Brain can be carved up quite a bit, normally (!) without causing too much
death. Gunshot to head causes severe shock and usually, scrambling from
bouncy-bouncy internal ricochet (safety slugs, hollowpoints, dum-dums).
Largely fatal. Of course point blank firearms just carry huge quantities of
brain along in the direction of the blast.. messy. Nail gun not usually going
to do this, methinks.

surely a simple time-travel device would get round THAT little problem?
More seriously, on my electric brad nailer I _could_ reach the back of my
head and trigger it with my thumb. I doubt I'd want to continue after the
first one, however.
I was thinking mire that death wouldn't be instantaneous and the deadguy
could have chucked the gun out of arms reach, or wandered a small distance
before expiring.

And the nails will have micro stamped serial numbers tying them to your
registered nail gun with incremental counters so they can keep track of each
one...

Oooh, that could be bad, some of them would get a zero on that personality

Studio chiefs successfully cast the part of Nailhead in forthcoming
blockbuster Hellraiser - The Hong Kong Connection after an unknown actor
turned up in full costume, gave a flawless, agonized performance and then
totally disappeared leaving a baffled casting director and second unit
hairdresser.
"He kept stopping for aspirin" said baffled director Eliza Frupleskein, 27.
Baffled 42 year old studio security head, James Earl Smith said late last
night,"He rushed out of the studio lot without leaving a contact number. In
full makeup and costume. I'm completely baffled."
Director of Photography Alfred Stopcock, the famous 52 year old maker of such
classics as "Psychic" and "Dial P for Pizza" admitted to being completely
baffled. "The chap had the part completely nailed. Then he just ran out,
screaming. It's baffling."
"Alfred was going for drama" said Miss Frupelskein, 27. "To get the long dark
shadows he had the pin spots almost completely baffled."

Must of been oneof those automatic, military style nail guns.
I wonder what type of "accident" could have happened to cause that many
nails to enter the skull. He was obviously doing something very unsafe.
Good thing OSHA didn't see this. Can you imagine the regulations they could
impement as a result of this unfortunate "accident"?

If I were to speculate, I would guess that the number of nails involved were
more than enough to get the job done. In fact, it was probably a crime of
passion and involved a lot of personal anger. Hence the numerous nails.
That most of the nails were shot after the victim was deceased.
Also, if you were to actually kill somebody with a nail gun, wouldn't nails
to the heart prove to be faster and more efficient in getting the job done?
Not that I have any actual experiene in these matters, of course.

Not likely.
One of the basic tests done to differentiate suicide from homicide is to
simply see if the weapon could be held by the victim in that position. With
the nails entering the back of the head, you would need a very long arm with
an extra joint or two to point the nailgun to the back of your own head.
I think homicide would be a logical conclusion here.

I always would shake it off when I woke up feeling like that and have
a few more Rusty Nails, you know, a little hair of the dog....oh wait,
those are REAL nails?

That many nails isn't trying to kill someone, it's trying to hurt
someone you're really pissed off at (probably slowly), or to send a
message to his friends.

The funniest news report I've ever seen was a local "on-the-scene"
interview where the interviewer asked one of those inane "how do you

as wallpaper in every "newsroom" in the counter, "It's very annoying
that you spend so much effort analyzing things you don't know shit

4 always come to mind,
1. The excited anchor exclaimed "The airplane skidded into a crash"!
2. The on the scene reporter wearing yellow rubber boots and standing in a
2 inch deep pot hole filled with water blurts out, Water is beginning to
pond and it is becoming treacherous.
3. The "new" on the scene reporter desperate for words to fill the dead air
exclaims. You can see how much it has rained during the night by the amount
of water droplets that have accumulated on top of the cars!
4. On the NBC Today show. Matt Lauer was listening to an on the scene
reporter that was sitting in a canoe near a swollen creek/river. As she
was explaining the dangerous situation some one walked behind her in water
that was some where between ankle and knee deep. Had the canoe sunk, most
of it would still have been above water.

I can't answer the "why" but seems like there are an awful lot of
folks who do think that way.
With the concealed carry law in Kansas came the prohibition of same in
certain locations, i.e. banks. All of which have on the door a picture
of a handgun with a red slash informing all who enter that concealed
carry is prohibited on the premises. As a result, the prospective bank
robber is turned away at the door when he sees the sign and realizes
that he/she cannot carry the weapon into the bank.
Yeah, right!!

Oh suuure!! LOL. That reminds me of a routine that comedian Kelly
Monteith did years ago. A jewelry store gets robbed and the store
owner runs after the thief and yells: "STOP THIEF!!!"
The thief, of course, hears this and stops?

Or he was one of those US interrogators who applied waterboarding to
Khalid Sheik Mohammed 183 times in one month. Guess he didn't know how
"effective" waterboarding is supposed to be, just like the nailgunner
didn't know that one nail would be sufficient.

Maybe the news got it wrong and it was just a brad nailer. The perp probably
used so many because he was 'waiting for the glue to dry'

I bet it was Norm that did it. How many time have we heard him say
"Just a few brads to hold it until the glue dries."
Then we hear bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

Hell outlawing "outlaws" does not work what makes any one think that
outlawing guns would work.

I'm not sure what kind of woodworking you do, but I've been doing
woodworking for 30+ years and I'm not sure that I know how many nails
it would take to assuradly kill the victim. Your workplace is clearly
different from any I've been around if that knowledge is part of your
woodworking background! ;-)

They exist. They are called hammers. However they can develop a bad
habit of killing people also. Some time ago in Lake County Indiana one
hit an individual on the head 13 times. Coroner called it suicide...

Kind of funny, this crime was in Australia, a country that went bonkers
over gun confiscation (the real kind). Things were supposed to be all
unicorns and rainbows now that those eeevil guns have been taken off the
street, so howcum this crime happened?
Could it be because those bent on mayhem are going to commit it regardless
of laws? Nah, that couldn't be, that would be too sensible a conclusion.
It must be because nailguns *look* like guns (they have a trigger and are
called "guns"). Thus the evil assault nailguns must be banned and more
sensible, less sinister "nail inserters" must be developed and sold.
