Who makes a 3+" staple gun?

I've removed a plywood panel for earthquake bracing to check out dry rot on
a stud wall. The plywood is stapled to the studs with heavy gauge, long
staples, perhaps around 3 to 3.5 inches. My air staple gun only goes up to
about 2" so who makes 3+" staple gun?

Years ago we used to have a Senco gun that we would shoot stair treads
on with. We used 3" long staples that had either a 1/2" or 7/16"
crown (I don't remember for sure). I don't think it's available any
more. It was basically the body of their large framing gun but with a
head and track made for staples.
