If the nailer is shooting round head nails (evidently required for framing
in some jurisdiction and obviously required for roofing), it's got to use
the roll-fed nails, paper-linked nails.

Not necessarily -- Bostitch, Senco, Hitachi and others make stick-feed
FRH framing nailers.

There's a big difference between a battery-operated nailer and a
batter-operated drill: It takes a LOT of power to drive a nail.

OP was speaking of Paslode. Aren't battery-only-operated; they're gas
cannister w/ electronic ignitor--the battery only supplies the spark.
