nail gun

Really like to have a nail gun, but feel confused all the time when shopping for them. 
The choices on display in store always seem to be too many that it makes you have no idea of what to choose. So this blog is meant to remove that kind of confusion.
 
Three major types of nail guns: ( usage, thickness and length )

brad : molding
gauge 23 , length [3/8 - 1 1/4 ] inch
gauge 18 , length [5/8 - 2     ] inch

finish : softwood & trim

gauge 16-15,  length [5/8 - 2 1/2] inch 

frame : frame & fence
gauge < 15  , length [2 - 3 1/3] inch

BFF:( brad, finish and frame) sounds like "beef"

gauge : the smaller number, the thicker of nail.
