When I was very young, my mom got her ears pierced. I asked her how they did it, and she said that they used a little gun to put the earring in. For years afterwards (until I was a teenager, probably) I was mortified of ever having to pierce my own ears, because I envisioned my mom standing against a wall, and someone with an actual gun on the other side of the room taking aim and firing at her ear.
