I am curious if there is a language that calls a nail gun not a gun
Or pneumatic nailer
I don't think any of those things are referred to as a gun in French. Just essentially "stapler", "nailer", "gluer", ect
I might be biased by the question but I spontaneously thought of "pistolet à clous" as the most common term (which indeed translates to nail gun).
I agree with your other examples though, saying "staple gun" would be weird in french
Amazon and their copycats seem to be calling them 'nailers', probably because it's easier to filter out the constructive guns from destructive, prohibited ones. But Amazon is evil so it's probably unrelated
To be fair on this one, based on actual functionality 'air nailer' or 'power hammer' is more accurate than 'nail gun'' anyway. Outside of movies, you can't use it as a gun without enough modification that it's no longer the same tool.
I like < method of creating force > + hammer above nail gun but to your second point. Nail guns can be deadly without modification. Just close up work. They sell these and others like them at big box stores. This would be, in my favored naming convention, a gunpowder hammer.
