Depends on the nail gun. A power nailer that is intended for applying siding or roofing shingles would not work, but heavier nailers are used for 2x4 lumber. Check the makers specifications for the nailer. And be careful- if it will drive a nail through a 2x4, it will drive a nail through you.

ANS 2 -Actually, the framing nailer is one of the most common tools used in 2x 4 and 2x 6 building construction. Mine takes strips of 2 3/16 to 3 1/2 nails angled at 28-30 degrees. This is certainly the commonest nailer that I see anywhere in the construction industry. - And yes, they can be dangerous. Be careful.
