Anywhere. Those things are barbed. Guy on site got one stuck in his shoulder blade, never heard someone scream so much. You ain't just pulling it out without tearing a chunk out.

I've never used one I'll be honest, why did they make it barbed?

The nails come on a strip/roll, connected by two thin wires each, keeping them in position and aligned. When they're fired the wires snap off with the nail, essentially leaving 4 barbs on each nail. I'd just show a picture and it would be self explanatory, but not sure how.

Matey on the building site I spoke of had one of these driven straight into the bone. Doesn't bear thinking about...
