The latter choice tends to cut smaller nails when you grip them too hard, but then they end up being easier to set. Be advised to slide some thin wood or metal under the side of the plier to protect your floor while you extract.
For the ones that don't go in all the way, I use my end snips to cut the nail off as close as possible to the wood, then drive that last little bit with the nail set and medium force and fast hammer blows.
Your nail gun may have a depth adjustment, and or you may be able to up the pressure on the compressor---also, as steven fong suggests, your pressure may be getting low, right before the compressor kicks back on to refill and that low point isn't enough pressure to drive the nail. Some compressor have, but most small ones don't, an adjustment to turning up the low setting on the tank pressure.
Sometimes, even when all other conditions are set right, a nail will just slow down on a particularly hard part of the wood, or an unseen knot, and there's nothing you can do about that, or avoiding it, you just have to deal with the setting of the occasional one that happens like that.
