Default Brad nailer for hanging drywall?

Actually I assumed from your question your post had to be a finely
crafted troll.

I have one of those Senco screwguns for drywall (works on wood
too, I assume for plywood framing mostly).. I haven't used it yet
but it seems real nifty. What that other guy said about screws
instead of nails is true also. No pops.

The software said it ran under Windows 98/NT/2000, or better.
So I installed it on Linux...

Thanks for the informative, serious reply. In the meantime, I looked up
Senco nailers and see they sell a dedicated drywall screw gun. That gave

me
a clue that drywall should be treated special.

Screws and my trusty dewalt drill will do fine for the amount of drywall I
have to hang.

Can a brad nailer be used successfully to hang drywall?


I would avoid using any kind of nails for drywall, at least in my
house. Use drywall screws and avoid those ugly nail pops years later.
Brads should not be used at all for drywall.
