Even what are known as floorboard nails sometimes split the wood and these nails seem a lot are thinner now than in the past. though no excuse and after the first split he should have reveiwed the matter before splitting more. i would have thought nailguns fire in so fast that it would be less likely to split the wood than manual nailing..
