    I agree with Nova Robotics.
    I own a Hilty DX single shot 27 cal rim fire
    and used to have a 500 amp nelson stud machine
    the Hilty nails will hold down the decking enough to keep them in place in moderate winds while you can stud it up for rebar and concrete
    When you are above the 10th floor there is no such thing as no wind and above the 30th floor you can consider yourself fortunate to get a sheet nailed down between gusts. many jobsites shut the cranes down at 15 MPH sustained winds. In the Middle East it can be so calm on the ground that it wont flutter a gold leaf but by the time a pick has reached the 25th floor the crane operator might have a moment when it feels like he is fighting a 900 lb sword fish on the end of the hook
