Raptor composite nails, anyone use them?

I specifically curious if they can be used in a regular nail gun with a regulator? Their $300 nail gun seems kinda spendy to me! 

Also has anyone had any problems with them, what are the gotchas? 

I would be looking for a max length of 1.5" (3/4" plywood/mdf into 3/4" spoil board). 

Thanks for the advice!

I just use nylon bolts from home depot.

Hi Steve,

We use them at PS1, with the fancy nailgun. We did have a part of the
nailgun replaced under warranty.

One of our guys heard about them from someone at Techshop.

A bit of googling suggests that they'll probably work in other nailguns.
Maybe try it and see. Most people seem to buy the Omer nailgun.

Make sure the nailgun is perpendicular to the surface and doesn't move
while driving the nail. The chisel point should cut across the fibers
(not parallel to them).
