Abstract
A magazine supporting nail-like fastening elements for use in an explosive charge driven setting gun is formed of an elongated strip having spaced first openings which hold the fastening elements. Concentric with and spaced radially outwardly from each first opening is a ring-like arrangement of arcuate slots or second openings spaced apart by radially extending webs. The webs have reduced thickness portions as compared to the thickness of the strip, so that a weakened region is formed for separation of that portion of the strip radially inwardly of the second openings when a fastening element is driven through the magazine into a receiving material.
