Staplers Malfunction

The staplers are not coming out when I squeeze the trigger.  The noise I get when I squeeze the trigger is "pop Pop". I have the right staplers for the stapler nailer and the safely latch is off.  There is no reason for the staplers to not come out of the gun.  Please help.  I do not want to go and buy another stapler nailer.

i might be able to help...it sounds like your blade spring is out of place....

take apart the stapler/nailer...check if the spring is broken(not likely but who knows ) now place it in the position that  makes it feel like it is almost going to snap.... here is a parts list sorry if i didnt explain it that well never done this..... http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Craftsman-Parts/All-Products-Parts/Model-193684810/0247/0746100/00064951/00001
