Will a nail gun split Merbau?

Hi Guys,

Quick question for you...I'm about to build a deck and want to finish with merbau...

I recently went out an bought an air compressor with a framing gun and a D-Bradder...and I'm thinking about buying a coil nailer for my deck and a small fencing job I'm doing.

But I've heard that you can't/shouldn't fix hardwood with a nail-gun...cos it splits. Can anyone who does this for a living confirm?

Thanks,

Alex.
