No one has described the path it took yet. I do too, Roy. There are a couple of things that occured to me that may explain things. The head of the nail can close off the insertion site. The speed of the nail from a fired nail gun creates some kind of friction/heat that may have cauterized the wound as the nail entered.

No one has described the path it took yet. If I understood one account correctly, it entered under his lip. And, as the recipient of two nail injuries from a nail gun, it didn't bleed much.

Judging from the radiographs that I saw... suspect that the 'nail' pierced the inferior border of the maxillary sinus, near the zygoma, and entered the frontal sinus, completely missing the eye.
