I just did what you suggested here on perhaps on even older staple gun, I did shave it down (maybe that also helped?) but methinks the main issue here turned out to be the channel the staples feed through, right at the tip where the hammer hits them, needed to be bent out a little bit. I think in all directions. Took no pics/video but I used an old steak knife to bend them out and up ever so slightly. I do thank you for helping me have the nerve to try to take it apart and see if I could fix it, and glad I didn't throw it away a few days ago. It was in the can on top of food scraps and I fished it out with hope it wasn't a lost cause.

My staple gun is doing this and its brand new. Directions on it are useless. Frustrating.

I know it goes without saying but "They don't make em like the used to!"
