Yellow it is...Thanks everyone...
If it is a little too hot,shoot the nails through a penny. That gives
you a washer and slows them down a tad.

Electricians often save the knockouts from steel boxes for just such use
and save the penny.

If you are shooting into block
yellow may be too hot and green not enough.

Yes, yellow assumes a solid concrete wall as the OP's post implies. A
block wall is much weaker so a lighter load would be appropriate.

The nice thing with the Hilti guns is you can just stock the red loads
and dial down as needed to handle most every task.
