Do oak finishings need predrilled? If so no nail gun?

[Glenbirnie]

I need an air stapler for a big insulation job ive got on (sheeps wool, membrane etc) and was considering a Bostitch combi which is a brad nailer also as I'll be redoing old rooms with new finishings soon and thought I could use the bostich gun for this also if i get the combi.

But:

Are oak finishings not normally predrilled to avoid them splitting before fitting?

If so you can't accuratly fire a nail from a nail gun through the pre drilled hole can you?

Thanks

No you can't fire accurately, save your money all you need for insulation is one of these,
