Some models have release sections to clear them out, some jams defy such due to access limitation. IME, what you are describing probably requires disassembly. I've seem them wedged in really well and the only way to release the nail was to tear it down to get it out. If the drive piston is damaged, it can make for recurring jams.

What brand/model is it?

Best way to unjam the nailgun is to place it inside a working Samsung freezer overnight.  :smt005

I've used penetration oil, a nail punch and hammer before. Consistent light taps with the hammer so not to damage the gun.
Sometimes you can get a hold of it with a pair of dykes and wiggle it loose too.
