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)

I don't know if that's even the right term, but what I mean is that the nails seem receded in the beams

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.
