They sell a variety of framing nailers and nails. Some nails clipped some full round
Check their nail page.

Amazon says clipped, Bostitch says full round. I am assuming it cannot
shoot both, but I am curious as to whether it is classified as full
round or clipped. Clipped nails seem to be in the 'D' shape. These
nails are an 'O' with just a small semi-circle missing from the edge.


Bostitch makes a **** load of different framing nailers.
Which nailer, which nails?


It is the N88WWB, it takes 28^ wire weld nails. Accodring to the
Bostitch website, they consider these nails to be full round head, but
in reality, there is a small semi-circle missing from the edge of the
nails head. I want to know if this actually is a full head nailer or
not.


You might check your local building code. they have their own ideas about what
constitutes a FULL head.
Most places accept clipped, I think some still require a full round head for some
applications.
