I'm only a do-it-yourselfer (not a contractor), but in my outdoor siding application, I used galvanized coil siding nails bought on Amazon.

This nailer likes plastic bound coils when available. Outdoors use galvanized or stainless.

This model is designed to work on natural nails as well as on acrylics or gels because the right attachments are included and speed can be adjusted accordingly. Plus it has a safety feature preventing a bit to fly out unlike other models on the market.

you can use any 30-34 degree paper collated framing nails. Almost all if not all hardware stores will carry them lowes home depot amazon menards all carry them.

The nail gun would work, but the brads wouldn't be strong enough. Fences can take quite a battering and be subjected to large forces (wind, earthquake, people etc). I wouldn't use 18 guage brads for this. In fact I wouldn't use finishing nails either - framing nails would be the better option and they should be galvanised or stainless.

We have the spikes on the tops of outdoor sconces where nails or screws would damage the sconces. If you're putting them on wood, then screws or nails would work

The impact driver is for driving screws, philips or square or torx or hex drive screws. If you are looking to drive 16p nails an air powered palm nailer is better. There are some electric nail drivers, not sure they would work well with framing nails.

Mine didnt use any nails at all. It was dead on arrival. I had to go rent one to complete my project.

I just use my nail. The stuff that you scratch off is pretty thick so you need the tool to be sharp or have rougher edges, a nickel is a bad choice.

Nail Envy nail strengthener by OPI. It's a great base coat and strengthens the nails at the same time. It's a bit costly but worth it.

Absolutely, remember to use galvanized exterior nails to prevent nail rust and wood discoloration after the fact and after some weather.

We used a pneumatic nail gun with finishing nails. It held well. It is a really good product.

I bought nails on Amazon to go with it for cheap. And I'm pretty sure it would work for building a deck we used it with treated lumber to make 3 garden boxes and a sandbox with lid and it was great. Hope this helps

So far I have used the finish nail gun only and it worked fine. I will rate the rest of the guns once I use them in the summer.

As far as I know any brand 18 guage brad nails will work, I have used 3 different kinds and had no issues, porta cable are the cheapest and work just fine

I used Bostitch 3 1/4 X 0.120 28 degree wire weld framing nails which I purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. The magazine holds 100 nails, which helps reduce the number of times you need to stop and reload. I probably used about 1500 nails and never had any problems. I suspect other 28 degree wire weld nails would also work, but the local store carried Bostitch so I used them.

Hardie instructions say you can use a roofing nail, and that's what I'm currently doing. The big heads on roofing nails tend to get bent and you'll want to keep a hammer on your belt to fix the occasional error, but they work fine. If you're going to do a lot of fiber cement, though, get a siding gun. I highly recommend switching to a sequential trip trigger, so it only shoots one nail at a time. Bump mode will sometimes double-fire on you and that gets messy in a hurry. I got the #107582 trigger from my local service center for $3.85, but I had to pick up a spring from the hardware store to make it work properly.
