    Default Nail gun, nail sizes?

    Morning all, I am about to buy a framing nail gun, my question is what length nails to use when working with 3" x 2" pine, guess this is about 75 x 50 metric.
    It's a Supatool S130171 gun uses Senco style nails.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Jon.

    75mm x 3.08 usually.. cost about $30 for 3,000.

    Seeing as the wood is 50mm thick maybe 90mm if you can get them.Not a very common size tho. being pine the head usually counter sinks in a few mm anyway so 75 might do it.
