Only heard , not seen, the builder nextdoor using this nail/cartridge gun. I
asked his apprentise/ gofor, later on, but he didn't know.
Whirr sounded like a small motor, what make/type of gun would it have been?
Motor pumping up a gas chamber, like an airgun, so no cartridges as such ?

Probably one of these.

My builder's using one at the moment. The whirr is a cooling fan that runs
for a few seconds after every nail.

Yes, or possibly a cordless nailer like the Tacwise:

Thee go whirr-bang......whirr-bang - as the battery-powered motor
draws bang the the heavily spring loaded firing bolt just before each
shot.

(which is a slight PITA as there's a delay to fire every time you
press the trigger).

The whirr noise is the apprentice whining why he has to be the one
holding the nails. The bang is the application of the hammer by the
builder. Ocasionally you may even hear a scream, but not if local ladies
are present....
