Talk:Rivet gun

Question

what exactly is the definition of the "X" as in two, three, or four "X"...is it barrel length?

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I don't see anything in the article in reference to your question. Please elaborate. Wizard191 (talk) 17:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

the x means the power of the gun there from 2x, 3x to 9x for very heavy, I will use in aviation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.125.130.200 (talk) 02:17, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Jargon tags

Speaking as someone who does not know anything about riveting, I found this article difficult to understand because the words that I have tagged as jargon are unknown to me and there is no obvious way. In addition, the list of rivet gun types seems to be limited to those used in the aircraft industry. Are rivet guns used anywhere else. Op47 (talk) 11:16, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

I will look at the jargon and see if I can improve. I know that rivet guns/pneumatic hammers are used in building construction and some industrial fabrication. My training and experience is limited to aircraft use.Ccalvin (talk) 02:00, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Article is still fairly hard to parse due to the heavy use of jargon. However, as most of the terms are defined in place, I can't really see a way to edit for clarity. Also, zero refs. I just came here to try to understand exactly how rivets work, now I am even more confused than ever. Angryredplanet (talk) 05:13, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
