I've got a Porter Cable FR350Mag.  It will shoot a 3.5" nail, as I recall up to .160 diameter or thereabouts.

The nice thing about it is that it's made from magneseum, and it's a bit lighter than the normal air nailer.  It shoots a full round head nail, for maximum pullout resistance.

You won't have to reload as often if you buy a clipped head nailer though.

The company in the link that Don provided (Maze nails) has some really great products.  I used their 3.5" spiral shank double galvanized nails when I built my perimeter fence - no problem sinking them into very dry locust fence posts.
Peterson 10" WPF with 65' of track
Smith - Gallagher dedicated slabber
Tom's 3638D Baker band mill
and a mix of log handling heavy equipment.

local codes now say which nail to use... CH or FRH's...
gotta watch it...

an old Senco SN-IV with the over sized mag will shoot 4" nails...

Paslode offers an offset FR collated nail that works in a lot of CH guns.. several dia's...
Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish.... Here fishy fishy....
