It's used to drive nails.
The system is called PAT. Powder Actuated fastening Tools. "Gray loads are ideal for cinder block and mortar. Green loads are designed for concrete and steel. Yellow loads are for fastening extra hard concrete and steel. Brown loads can be used for fastening to medium hardness concrete or cement block." |

Looks like a .27 caliber blank for nailguns. At the job site, we call them "shotguns" for some reason.

Because the end is crimped, perhaps? Or maybe because it's a smoothbore? |

Man I love my hilti powder actuated tool... You can mount anything, anywhere with that baby. (I don't suggest using the red caps with the power turned all the way up on thin aluminum building siding though.)
