I'm using reclaimed barn lumber (old oak) to build a new pole barn.

Has anybody here used one of these massive framing nailers: BIGBERTA160-2? I really think it is what I need for my pole barn project! Any thoughts?

I need to get an air nailer that is big enough to drive 3.5" nails into old oak lumber. I don't know much about the framing guns so any advice as far as what to get/not get would be helpfull.
