Nail or screw plywood on the wall?
I am going to put up plywood directly against the studs in a hobby room and am now considering if it is okay to use nails to attach them? Screws wouldn't look as nice since only plywood will be visible. Are nails from a nail gun sufficient to attach them with?
I was thinking of using these nails

Of course nails work if you choose the right nails. I think you should choose something with a bit of grip so they can hold the plywood flat against the wall, plywood is never completely straight and smooth.

Screws and nails have approximately the same size head, I would even say that screws have a slightly smaller head.
Why do you think screws would be uglier than nails?
Nails work of course, but it's faster and less tiring with screws.
