Re: What's the Difference: Paper, Plastic, and Welded-Wire Collated Nails?

I don't think you can over-emphasize the safety factor for paper collated nails versus welded wire. Welded wire acts as a barb. Accidentally shooting yourself with a nail gun is not that uncommon, and the resulting damage (especially to flesh) and the work to remove and repair the injury from a barbed nail is substantially more that a smoother projectile, never mind internal organs. I'm not a doctor, but I play one on blogs.
