21 deg. air nailer: plastic strip?
Have an upcoming project that may include use of a nailer. As nails are cycled through the nailer, what happens to the plastic strip that held the nails? Does it eject from the nailer, or just fall out somehow?
Thanks!
Thanks!

And another word of caution. Never put any part of your body (hand, face) downstream from the point where you are nailing. I nailed myself, for the first time ever yesterday because I ignored that caution. I was using an 18 ga brad nailer to attach a short piece of crown molding return and was confident my hand was far enough away, It wasn't. The brad hit a knot, exited the wood and penetrated my palm to the bone.
I'm glad I wasn't using a framing nailer.

Thanks, guys. I've had a similar experience, CW, a nail took a funny turn and just barely tagged me. I took that as a warning and after that kept my hands out of the field of fire.
