Believe it or not some folks really own weapons that will drive tacks. I have a couple of tack drivers myself, sometimes in the summer I'll put a little jam or something on a target and also use it as a fly swatter. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they're not out there.
Start a tack in a board and a rifle accurate enough to be called a tack driver will drive it on through.Trick a fly into landing on your target and smoke him for fun and you have a fly swatter.

No misnomer there
