Is there a nailer capable of securing timber battens to old
(150yrs)brickwork quickly? I may have some dry lining to do and
wondered if there's a tool to make a quick job of it rather than
drilling/screwing.

You can hire a Hilti gun which will send nails through reinforced concrete
if neccesary, but TBH, this is overkill.
What's wrong with using drylining adhesive?
