How much PSI does a pneumatic nail gun need?

Reviewer consensus

Most of the framing and finish nailers in this roundup are spec'd in the 70–120 PSI range, with framers usually run around 90–100 PSI for full nail sink. A pancake or hot-dog compressor with at least 2 SCFM at 90 PSI is the commonly recommended pairing for a single trim gun.
