With either gun equipped and nothing held, press F to toggle block mode. In block mode the gun can pull allowed blocks out of the world and move them as loose props. They snap back into the block grid when they settle; if no suitable space is available, they drop as an item. Block pickup needs the tool's permission and nomadphysics.blocks.
