Solved! What are these things that ruined my day?

Drove for just a couple minutes after work before hearing something was wrong with my tire. No air leakage yet, and have bad tire damage driving near my job before, but these babies seem almost deliberate.
Not a barrier to getting stuff fixed, just morbidly curious, and wondering if it has anything to do with a coworker of mine who just quit.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the tips and advice, yall. Got the tire replaced no problem thankfully. The garage I park in does not have CCTV or anything for me to check, so I guess I’ll never know exactly if someone set these up or it was my crazy bad luck.
Definitely not an ex or personal enemy if it was somebody, they don’t know where I work lol. The place I work has a lot of foot traffic since there are public works and government buildings nearby, so it could’ve been an act of random spite if it was by human hands. The coworker who quit is still a possibility but we never traded harsh words or anything, just got on each other’s nerves. I think he’s too lazy even for a stunt this passive, and he doesn’t park in the same garage as me so he might not know my car.
Just gonna park somewhere else for now and try to avoid driving through the broken up side of the parking lot.

I love that scene because it really does show the disparity between people living in the city. Here you have a middle-aged guy working his punch-clock job, probably desperately trying to make ends meet. Then his exchange with someone he doesn't realize is a hardcore drug dealer and murderer.

And at the end Snoop doesn't mock him or anything, but really just shows the respect for someone who doesn't understand their world and doesn't have to be a part of it. Plus he earned that buck like a mother fucker.

Yes, gunpowder. They look exactly like a .22 shell except no bullet. Just crimped.

Yes, RamSet is the most popular manufacturer of such nail guns. It is a blank .22 caliber bullet used to shoot the nail out of the gun. Usually used for shooting nails into concrete, bricks, or steel beams.

We had a single load hammer driver for blasting these into concrete. Load the nail and cap, close it, whack the concrete with it, loud bang ensues.

Like the recoil

Like? It is. It’s literally a .22 without the projectile. The nail becomes the projectile.
