You probably can't use a coil nailer. You need to use a positive placement type nailer which allows you to place the nail point in the hole in the metal connector and then pull the trigger. Eyeballing it with a coil nailer is sure to produce a ricochet and maybe take your eye out. I use a Senco SN60MC like the one in the eBay link below. I got mine for $100+shipping on eBay because I too did not want to pay $400 for a new one. My uncle uses a Paslode Positive Placement gun and likes it but I like my Senco better. The eBya gun in the link below is only $75 right now so you might get it at a reasonable price. If the link doesn't work then just put 4376522872 in the search box on any eBay page and you should find it. Mark
