I am wondering could I use a Framing Nailer with the DEWALT D55141FNBN Heavy-Duty 16-Gauge Finish Nailer/18-Gauge Brad Nailer/2-Gallon Compressor Combo Kit?

that compressor is only 2 cfm which is too slow for framing

I use this one with one stick nailer, Two stick nailer's it runs about 40-50% of the time

Porter-Cable has a similar package, with better guns(IMO). I use that P-C compressor (3.5 scfm@90lb) for light framing. Maybe 20-30 sheets of deck at a time, or 1 man building a few walls. Not for all day every day, or a production crew, but it works for me most of the time
