I have no idea what nail gun will work with these nails...

30 degree round head 2"x.113 paper tape (paslode #650381)

Any ideas?

Unless I'm mistaken, the #650381 nails have clipped heads and would be used in the Paslode Impulse Cordless framing nailer and the pneumatic F350S Powermaster Plus clipped head framing nailer.

That nail is a Paslode Roundrive ring-shank, hot-dipped galvanized nail. If you look carefully, you will see that the nailhead is NOT centered on the nail shaft. It will work fine with any F350S framing gun. The nose of the F350S has "Roundrive" impressed into the side under the cover.
Because the round head is off-center, it functions just like a clipped-head nail with the clipped off part left in place. Magazine capacity is not reduced like it would be with a true round head nail, since the offset allows the nails to be spaced just like clipped head nails.
It's Paslode's response to building codes that prohibit clipped head nails in some areas. Once the nail is driven, all you see is a round head.
