16d is a length.
Gun nails come in different diameters. .131" is perhaps most common, but .147" is also available. You need a gun that will handle the right dimeter.

I have an old paslode that I really like, but don't know about newer ones.
But mine shoots clipped-head nails which are not nearly as strong as full round head nails. Mine sees use for concrete forms and temporary holding of things which will later be driven home with better nails or screwed together.
Hitachi is supposed to be very good. And I have smaller senco nailers which do quite well, but I am not a daily user of them.

We have a bostich, don't now the model. got it on ebay. great tool. couldn't recomend it enough.
I don't know how construction was done without it.
Had a friend who worked for DeWalt. according to him, and this sounds pretty logical, "You get what you pay for"
don't know if this will help

I use a Paslode compressor driven model frequently and like it. Many carpenters here are going over to their impulse model which doesnt need a compressor, so no hose to drag around. With due care and maintenance they last a lot longer than a season.
The Senco guns are also popular.
I dont think the clipped head on a nail makes much difference, nails grip on the shank as you find out when trying to pull one out with the hammer claw under the head, its still hard to get out.

Easy, MAX all the way. Hitachis are nice, but nothing compared to a Max. I don't know if they are available Europe :confused: Try their website.

Regarding nails that don't pull out easily...whatever it is you are building, never build it so that its strength relys on nails in tension! Nails are for shear forces and compression forces. Since that's the case, a nail that doesn't pull out easily isn't the virtue you might think it would be.

I have the PC framing nailer. Full round head. works well and didn't break the bank. I have used the heck out of it. Can't recall the model.

Tom M, Quite right about nails working in shear and not tension.
Do you ever install ceiling battens? ;)
