In the industrial and construction context, the concept derived from a "firearm"—a device using an explosive charge (like gunpowder) to propel a projectile—is realized through specialized tools known as Propulsion Tools or Powder-Actuated Tools (PATs). These devices utilize a controlled, small explosive charge (a blank cartridge) to generate the necessary force to drive fasteners into hard materials like steel, concrete, or masonry. Their use is strictly limited to non-weapon applications where concentrated, rapid percussive force is required.
