Nail Gun



The Nail Gun is a Hardmode, post-Plantera ranged weapon which has a /  chance to drop from Nailhead during Solar Eclipses. It uses Nails as ammunition, which are sold by both the Merchant and the Arms Dealer when the player has the Nail Gun in their inventory for each.

When a Nail hits an enemy, it lodges in the target and does minor contact damage, delivering the remaining with a powerful, delayed explosion. The Nails also stick to surfaces and explode in the same manner. The explosion does not damage the user. Nails are unaffected by gravity until they have flown roughly 30 blocks, at which point they fly with an arc similar to that of an arrow. If used in PvP, the Nails will not stick to players and will instead deal damage somewhere in between the initial damage and the explosion's damage.

Trivia

 * When fired in the air with the archery buff in velocity, it actually takes 60% of the buff's modifier longer to fall instead of speeding up.
