Default OK to air-nail 2x4s together on their flat faces?

You do it all the time for King/Cripple studs for framing in a doorway.. Or
at least I've always nailed them together.

The 3" nail is usually a Tad long though so I usually add a slight angle to
it.

Can I use an air-actuated framing nailer gun to nail parallel 2x4s
together?

I have a home business, and one of the tasks is to screw 2x4s together
to make one thick post. I spread glue on the 3.5" wide faces, then
clamp them together before fastening.

Instead of driving deck screws for fastening, I am curious if I can
use a pneumatic framing nailer.

Would I split the wood?
