Went up my attic because I was hearing some random sounds at night, and came across these beams pulling off nails? Is this normal, or should I do something about this? (Pics in body) (programming.dev)

They're just sunk deep because they had the nailgun set too hard. They aren't pulling through, that's how they were set.

Nailguns have a pin that could drive that nail entirely through the 2x4 if you set the pressure high enough.
