Hi there and welcome aboard 🙂

I recently bought exactly this coil nailer. Have not had the chance to test it since I’m still waiting on my couplings and stuff. Anyway, the specs do tell it works with wire collated nails.

I’ve made some pictures of the inside. Don’t think this will work with plastic collated nails.

I have this gun as well, but have only shot wire collated nails through it. Check the side of the box or the DeWALT website for all the specs.

Thanks for the info and pics , it looks like plastic coils won’t work as they need an exit for the strip . :'(
