Piston falls and will not go back up after fireing the gun.pick the drive pin up then it fires off 1 nail and the drive pin stayes down
Yes it's possible but quite unlikely. There is a rubber bumper on the bottom of the piston driver assembly inside the cylinder that absorbs the shock and helps bounce it back to position. Sounds like an prong on the piston, and perhaps new trigger valve. Doesn't seem to be pushing with the right amount of air but. Check the bumper first. Then the oring. Work your way through.
What brand / model? They can certainly wear, I've had this happen even with a high end nail gun. If used all day, more than one application of oil may be needed to prevent wear. Or invest in a gun mounted self-oiler..
