I am getting pretty sick of screwing everything, so I was thinking about getting a nailgun. I know nails are not as sturdy, but would a nailgun be good? Would it make it sturdy? Thanks.

nailguns are the best thing ever for framing...ive framed out some bulletproof ramps and rails with my nailgun (i actually have 2, a framing nailer and a brad nailer)...just dont use it to attach rails obviously haha

nails are almost just as strong as screws if you nail them right, and nail guns are so much faster then any other way

a nail gun is not worth it unless your doing a ton of work. Its also is a bitch if you wanna take shit apart and not as strong as screws. I wouldent bother with a nailgun unless you can just borrow 1.

i would say that you should look into renting one for the day... just because i cant imagine you would need it all that much. but it would work great and go extremely quick
