They're repeatedly firing. Each shot fires a blast of nailguns, which
spread out as they go downrange; when you're the one shooting, it's less
obvious that they spread out as much as they do. When you're being shot
at, especially from someone who's at medium-to-long range, it just looks
like a huge shower of nails. They're not cheating, you're just on the
receiving end and they're shooting a lot.
