Most nail guns run on electric or air power and can surely do major harm. The one that uses a .22 blank is called a RamSet and if that guy used one these and shot himself in the head, it would blow right out the other side. I used a RamSet to attach 2X4 and 2X6 posts to a concrete floor and a concrete wall. A normal nail gun won't do it so I don't believe he used a .22 powered gun, which by the way are single shot only in my limited experience.
