Answer 1

Yes

Example1

(actual incident) A person hammers a 12 inch nail into a woodwork benchtop. He slams the nail several times until the nail is well "into" the bench, complete with indentations of the hammer head on the wood. With fixated eyes, perspiring forehead and hammer in hand he continued to smash the nail until it split the table and someone courageously (or stupidly) confronted him and took the hammer from him.
