Abstract
An indirect fire device for fixing fasteners in a substrate material includes a piston for driving a fastener movably mounted in a barrel and a plug guide for guiding a fastener towards the substrate material. The device is adapted to receive a magazine for receiving a strip of fasteners in order to introduce the fasteners one by one into the plug guide. Each fastener is held in a sleeve comprising bridges for connection to another sleeve. The plug guide of the device includes a zone having an enlarged circular section at the opening of the magazine leading into the plug guide, extending axially over the length of a sleeve increased by the stroke of the plug guide for loading the device.
