I need an owner's manual for my D51257 16 gauge nail gun. My son borrowed it about a year ago. Just got it back minus the manual. He has no clue where it is.

The nails can turn over if you have the wrong angle or gauge nails in the tool. Make sure you are using the proper nails for your gun because they are not all the same.
I don't have that same model but my gun started doing something similar a while back. I was able to disassemble the head of the gun and found that the hammer or piston that drives the nail had rounded itself off and wasn't able to make good contact with the nail head. Instead it pushed itself on top of the nail and got wedged. It's nearly impossible to see the stuck nail or dulled piston head without taking it apart. Hopefully this will help.
Use 34 degree, paper collated, clipped head nails. They were always the most common strip nails years ago as Senco, Paslode, and a number of other nailers used them.
They use 20 degree, full round head, plastic coalated nails. You can shoot nails ranging in guage from .099 to .131 and I believe from 2 3/8" to 3 1/4" length. It is a heavy but well built and powerful tool. It's not made anymore because Duo-Fast has long been sold to ITW which also owns Paslode. The owner of Duo-Fast (third generation, family owned) got very ill with cancer and ended up passing away quite a few years back. I worked as a sales rep for Duo-Fast in the early 1990s. I can not find an owners manual link for you. They don't have an adjustable depth but they do have a flush adapter. Here is a link to a parts diagram. The flush adapter is part number CN-133 and is held on with a screw.
Porter-Cable DA250B is an angled finish nailer- it drives 15 gauge brad nails, and won't work with staples. There are some smaller pneumatic tools that can drive both brads or staples, they are typically the smaller 18 gauge fasteners.
If you have the correct 15 gauge angled nails, the DA250B manual has nice pictures showing how to insert them.
Use the Paslode cleaning spray (Lowes and home depot stock this) Detailed instructions can be downloaded from the paslode site. http://www.paslode.com/owners-manuals.html
brand does'nt matter its the lenght and more inportant is the gauge if its shooting two nails than you are most likely using the wrong gauge example of gauges:16mm 18 mm ect. look on gun it should specify which gauge to use
sounds like safety needs adjusted you have bent the arm and it is thinking that the guard is not fully depressed and thus it vents air . adjust it with wrench or straighten arm. I have had this happen before- but in my case the adjuster backed off- same result -look in manual for adjusting as well - should be there or take to service -easy fix and should be cheap
