How to remove a jammed nail from a nail gun
So you’ve got a nail gun, and it’s jammed – what do you do?
First and foremost, you need to be sure that the nail gun is actually jammed. If the gun is just not firing properly, try cleaning the firing pin and chamber. If those don’t work, the problem may be with the nail itself. In that case, you may have to take the gun to a qualified gunsmith to have the nail removed.
Assuming that the nail gun is actually jammed, the first step is to clear the chamber. This can be done by pulling the trigger and firing the nail into the ground several times – the nail should come out easily after the first few shots. If it doesn’t, the chamber may be blocked.
If the chamber is cleared, the next step is to remove the jammed nail. The easiest way to do this is to insert a screwdriver into the front of the gun and use it to pry the nail out. Be careful not to touch the spring – if you do, you may cause the gun to accidentally fire.
Once the nail is removed, the gun should be able to fire again. Make sure to clean the firing pin and chamber before you use the gun again.
