Feasibility Study of a Silent Multipurpose Stud Driver

Abstract

The report establishes the feasibility of a silent expendable stud driver. An investigation of commercial stud drivers led to the design of test devices and a pre-prototype model. The device weighs one pound and can drive studs capable of withstanding a minimum axial force of 250 pounds into structural steel, concrete, limestone, cinder blocks, and wood. The results indicated the feasibility of using one stud design and one propellant charge specification for all the materials tested.
