I recently bought a used 10 gauge 21 angle air framing nailer. The nails are in strips not a coil. I used it once and the plastic that holds the nails together didn't come off the nail stopping the nail from going all the way in to the wood. And it seems that the gun is jammed because it just leaks air out the top value like the it is half opened. I pulled the strip out and then put them back and the same thing happened all over again!
Answer:
You'll have to get ahold of the ownership manual for that model of nailer because if something is blocking that plastic strip from being ejecgted or in some other way removed, it has to be serviced and the ownership manual should tell you how that's done.
