framing nailers : low profile for blocking but also with interchangeable tips for framing and use with metal connectors

Question

Is there such a tool as a low-profile framing nailer that can fit between studs set  16" o.c. for nailing blocking, but which also has swappable tips so it can do frame nailing of 2x members as well as aim nails accurately into the holes of metal-connectors?  I've found the one, or the other, but not both.

You will either find framing nailers or palm nailers, but not some combination , from the major brands at least. A good ol' hammer will do both but not offer the productivity or efficiency you seek.

You might wish to consider getting a pea shooter slide hammer or just making one from 1/2" pipe and rebar/rod. Usually you need a second person to position while you operate the slide hammer, but it will get a nail into extremely awkward places. It can't nail perpendicular due to the long shaft of course.
