The new Ramset guns are surprisingly quiet. Certainly, the police won't be called, and there's not much of a risk to the thief.

This is because unlike a gun, there is no need for the gases to release to the outside openly. Therefore, there is much, much less noise, and it doesn't sound like a gun at all.

I wonder if the battery-powered propellant-free Hilti fastener shooter would work, those things are extremely quiet!

It's my understanding that the actual propulsion of a nail is no more powerful than a powder actuated tool, which use cartridges similar in power to the very small .22LR
