Internally they are the same, however the rnd has a semi clear cover to see the coil nails in the cannister (could be other differences but use same nail). There is a difference between brands of nails. Check with local code for required length and type (galvanized , stainless etc). Make sure that the wire that binds the nails together is not too strong and stiff. Some coils have soft copper that works quite nicely and others use a stiff steel wire that tends to pull at the coil and leaves a stiff piece of wire in front of the first nail preventing good alignment to driver. If you are going to depend on your nailer for daily work, order and have in stock upper bumper and cylinder seal. These parts will fail quite quickly. Other parts tend to hold up pretty well. Good luck

Whats the difference between a roofing nail gun and an ordinary nail gun ?

A roofing nail is designed to be easier to be removed, they have a smooth shank and wide head that hold down shingles. A siding nail has a ring shank. A roofing nailer is used to quickly pin down shingles across a roof, the depth at which they are drive in is generally shallower than a siding nail.
You can read a little more about roofing nailers here Best Roofing Nailer Shooting From the Hip Woodworking Tool Guide.

Ridgid roofing gun model #R175RNA Im having problems with the firing pin. Its not wanting to retract to catch the next nail. What is the best and fastest way to fix it??

If it's gunked up with tar, I would spray WD40 to clean it up. Silicon spray is a good lubricant for maintenance of certain tools

Hitachi roofing nailer shoots every other nail & doesn't sink the nails it shoots

i think you have two different problems , replace the feeder spring, and replace the oring on the driver piston. also make sure that the coil of nails is perfectly round if they are dropped or squeezed tool will not work right

My makita an451 roof nailer keeps shooting 2 nails I've tried 2 different brands of nails

Nailers that use strips of nails (one nail directly behind the other) will sometimes drive two nails at once and is caused by damage to the driver. The nails are so close together that the driver will hit the first and part of the second nail head. Coil nailers, as your an451, use nails seperated by welded wire making it very difficult the the driver to hit the second nail. Usually when a coil nailer shoots two nails, it is acutally the trigger valve that acutates twice (two very rapid fires). Two very rapid fires is caused by faulty trigger valve. I have seen a roofing coil nailer fire one nail and a second nail drops out of the gun. Caused by weak / malfunction of nail feeder or wire used to weld nails together is too thick.

MY RIDGID ROOFING GUN will not feed the nails and then jams up because it trys to shoot two nails how can i fix it?

I would look at the deeder area which is close to the plunger. If not properly oiled, it will jam up like this. See the link below and enter the model number (R175RND) to get the complete parts breakdown diagram. That should help you to open up the unit and check it out. Also examine any O-rings for signs of wear.

Can i use any brand coil nailes in my nv 45ab2 coil nailer

Yes. Roofing nailers all use about the same size and spacing on coil nails. You will find that Harbor Freight is about 1/2 the price of Home Depot or Lowes for those nails.
