but there are bad nails!
The narrow crown staple is a good idea. Typical 18Ga. brad nails will be deflected in MDF and even plywood to come out the sides of teh workpiece as much as 50% of the time.
I'm a big fan of 4d. bright finish nails hit with a fairly light hammer, <20oz. and then countersunk to set the glue line.
