Any suggestions on how to attach framing studs into a poured concrete

I don't think masonry nails will work here, and I don't have a Hilti gun at
my immediate disposal. Not to be picky, but I don't really want to drill
anchors in either. ...
Thanks,

Don't forget that wood in contact with a slab should be pressure
treated.
You can rent a powder actuated fastener gun for 10-15 bucks if you
don't want to buy the kind you hit with a hammer. If you go with the
latter, use a 3lb hammer; it takes quite a whack to fire the load.
