I make a three pronged tip with the nails using the pebble method to keep the points separated and the tubing at the other end for the propulsion. With three nails you don't have to worry about making barbs. The nails are also handy for a bunch of stuff. In my kit I have monofilament line, duct tape, etc wrapped around them.
