I don't understand how to load a T-50 staple gun. There are never any pictures of the thing that you push. I think it may have broken off of my gun. If that is true, then it is no good? ...or is there another way I can get it open?

See that shiny steel saddle-looking clip at the "rear" (under your palm when you're using the gun) next to the bottom? Push it inward then down to unlatch it, then pull it straight out. Insert 12mm staples, push that thing back in and latch it again. It SHOULD be a little hard to push it - the long spring is what feeds staples up to the punch piston at the front.
There are 4 staplers in the Stanley SharpShooter family. You drop the staples on top of the "slide out loader," then slide it into the gun. See models and staple sizes below:
TR150HL Stanley Sharpshooter
Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples
TR150 SharpShooter
Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples
PHT150C SharpShooter Heavy Duty Hammer Tracker
TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples (1/4"-3/8")
TR250 SharpShooter Plus Heavy Duty Staple/Brad Nail Gun
Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples and 1/2", 9/16" and 5/8" Brads
The staples load on the underside of the stapler. Step 1 Push down and retract the stapler pushup mechanism. Step 2 Position the stapler so that the moving hammer handle is down and the staple exit is up Step 3 Load the staples into the chamber on the bottom with the points up. Step 4 Push the pushup mechanism into the locked position until it latches, you will feel the spring resistance as the staples are pushed into place.
If you use the picture that is posted as a reference, the staples are put into the gun by removing the bottom right- hand ( black insert)spring loaded slider. To describe it another way ..... when you hold the stapler in your hand , the staples go in the shoe bottom at the very rear of the gun. This is shown as the black indent at the back and bottom of gun. It is keyed in and is spring loaded ( to feed the staples) so don't be afraid to wiggle until you see how it is kept in the load trough. Good luck....hope this helped.
Angelbabie...Like most things, it's pretty easy if you know how.
1.Release the loading latch located on the back end of the staple gun by pinching it with your thumb in a downward motion. This will release the catch and allow you to pull the loading slide out.
2.Hold the gun upside down (so the staple don't fall out) and place a stick of staples in the bottom of the channel which will be exposed once you pull back the loading slide.
3.Push the slide back in and make sure the latch is engaged. All good to go!
With the staple exit facing toward you (don't squeeze the handle), find the small black square at the bottom (opposite end) from staple exit. Grasp both sides. Pull away from gun (not down). Chamber will open.
On the rear of the stapler (if you look at the picture on this web page, the lower right) there is a metal piece that you push in, then down slightly, to unlock. When you release it, a spring loaded bar and follower will come out. You will see where the staples slide in. Put the follower back in the grooves and reinstall.
Take out the screw/nut combo @ the end of the gun where you load the staples. The whole rail that holds the staples will then come out and you can then get the little devils of the nested, jammed, rousted up staples out by sliding them out with a screwdriver. Don't jam the screwdriver into your fingers/hand when doing it.
