Default Framing shed walls, 2 nails per stud?

hi everyone,
i'm in the process of framing the walls for my 10x15 shed. I have 2
questions.

i'm using a framing nail gun (3.5 in) I have a ton of galvanized nails
left over from the foundation and I would like to use them. The
galvanized I bought for the pressure treated wood, but they won't hurt
the regular non treated pine studs of the walls - correct? my other
question is, when fastening a stud to the top and bottom plates - do I
use 1 nail or 2? I feel like one would allow the stud to spin in it's
place. Thanks everyone!


Thanks for everyone's input. It's much appreciated. Yes, I will be
framing them laying on the foundation of the shed and raising them. So
I think i'm good to go... Thanks again!
