Ed, There may well be others. There are other Paslode nailers of that type for sure. I didn't see any gas fueled Bostich and the only Hitachi gas nailers I saw were framing nailers and man they were costly but that doesn't mean there aren't others.
It does mean though that you can go into any good tool store and, with a little confidence explain what it is you are interested in and if they try to tell you otherwise you know it is they and not you who are foolish. Good luck and do let us know if you get something and how you like it.

The price of the Paslode is a bit steep for the job I'm doing right now but I'm getting ready to finish my basement this winter so it might not be too bad. Thanks again. Take care, Ed _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 8:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Gas charged nailers Sorry I forgot who was asking about cordless nailers and I deleted the message. Well, they are out there but it seems that mostly for framing sized nailers and even they use a rechargeable battery to ignite the gas. Main disadvantage apparently is a slower cycle time with the main advantage being light weight and no hose. None of the reviews or news articles I saw mentioned bulk but I notice on the one lifted from ToolBarn.com and exerts pasted below that this finish nailer is also pretty wide compared with the air finish nailer I have and a lot more expensive too although not so costly if you deduct the cost of a compressor. Here is one example of one I found.
