Dear NCKA braintrust -

any pointrs on how to "part the red c" & free up the mtherfkr 2 return 2 duty?

Some models have release sections to clear them out, some jams defy such due to access limitation. IME, what you are describing probably requires disassembly. I've seem them wedged in really well and the only way to release the nail was to tear it down to get it out. If the drive piston is damaged, it can make for recurring jams.

What brand/model is it?

Best way to unjam the nailgun is to place it inside a working Samsung freezer overnight.

Finish gun or framing gun. Then who's the manufacturer

I've used penetration oil, a nail punch and hammer before. Consistent light taps with the hammer so not to damage the gun.
Sometimes you can get a hold of it with a pair of dykes and wiggle it loose too.

This is the way to deal with things that jam:

You should know this.

"why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam?"

"PC load letter? WTF does that even mean?"
