I watched them nail some of the shingles and I think they may have been
hitting them with more than 4 nails, maybe 6, but they were nailing way
too fast. They would pull the trigger just as the nailer hit the
shingle, bam bam bam bam. They made no effort to place the nailer on the
shingle and check to see if it was online before pulling the trigger.
That's definitely true for at least some of the nailing because I
witnessed it. Also, the results speak for themselves.
