Attaching MDF ceiling panels - nail gun?

[HannesH]

Hello,

Planning to install quite a bit of ceiling in the form of white-painted MDF (like Moelven Regina).
What's the easiest way to install this? I have a large nail gun (50-90mm), but it's probably too big?
I'm considering if it's possible to use a 16G nail gun possibly? Prefer not to screw by hand, and I assume the pros don't either since panels are standard in many newly built houses today?

Grateful for any answers and experiences

A brad nailer doesn't hold MDF very well. I would go with a staple gun. Very convenient for many things.

I've read a bit about people using brad nails, but maybe that's something to avoid.

Maybe I can use my GA18 staple gun (combo, brads+staples) with 5.7x32mm staples.
I've found on Moelven's website that the recommendation is 10x30mm, so 2 pieces of 5.7x32mm at each spot should be more than enough?
