I remember the purple shots were for driving into steel. The foreman had to personally approve their use and they were hot. I often wondered if the Hilti gun could be rigged into use as a firearm. It would certainly not have been accurate or have any penetration outside a very close range.

i used to have access to lots of 32 cal rimfire Hilti cartridges but didn’t take any.
Saw lots of them used to drive “nails” through angle iron.
