The Rieper 2000 Pro Nail Gun, or Nailer for short, is a weapon that appears in Hitman: Blood Money.

Description[]

It is a standard battery-powered nail gun that fires 15 gauge nails. Due to it not being designed to be a weapon, it inflicts very low damage on NPCs, taking around 20 shots to the torso to kill unarmored NPCs (headshots, however still are an instant kill), making it the weakest ranged weapon in the game. It also has a low rate of fire, low accuracy and loud noise, making it one of the worst weapons in the game. The only upside of the weapon is that it has a very high magazine capacity (50).

Locations[]

  • Curtains Down - Used by workers directly underneath the stage.
  • A New Life - In the basement.
  • Amendment XXV - On the top floor of the central wing, two workers will be seen using them.

Trivia[]

  • In real life, most modern nail guns have safety features which prevent them from being used as a deadly weapon.
  • Its nails (both missed and hit) are counted as shots fired in the newspaper.
  • If Agent 47 is wearing a worker's uniform while holding it, the guards will ignore him, unless he fires it.
  • Workers who are holding the nailer will not attempt to shoot 47 with it if threatened, and will instead either flee or surrender. 47 can still disarm them anyway.
  • However, if the weapon is nearby a threatened NPC, they will pick it up and use it against 47, like any other ranged weapon. It would not pose much of a threat to 47 though, unless 47 has very low health.
  • It will never run out of batteries, no matter how many times it is used.
  • Despite being relatively quiet, each shot can alert nearby guards like an unsilenced firearm even if the nearby construction workers are are also using a nailer, so it is unsuitable for serious missions.
  • The IO-Interactive Logo can be seen in the slide when viewed at a closer angle.
  • It's the only weapon in the game which can be brought to other missions, but is not displayed at the hideout.
  • Though the weapon is classified as a melee weapon in the pre-mission inventory, it behaves like a handgun in-game.
  • If the nailer is used for most of the mission, in newspaper report, it will show it's real name: "Rieper 2000 Pro Nail gun" and the type of nails: "15 Gauge Nails".
