Theres got to be a better way right? Someone should figure this out...

What happens here

Following the manual screw demonstration, the presenter introduces a pneumatic framing nail gun, specifically a Bostitch brand tool. He attempts to load screws into the nail gun's magazine and then place a screw into the firing mechanism. He explicitly states that the screws are too large for the gun, noting that 'the screws, they're too big for the gun' and 'the head's don't even fit.' This step effectively demonstrates the incompatibility of screws with a nail gun, reinforcing that these tools are designed for specific types and sizes of fasteners (nails).

Goal: Illustrate the incompatibility of screws with a pneumatic nail gun.
