   I guess it means the Senco gun shoots an 18 gauge nail that's called a brad in the trade /

   Hope this helps -

   I know next to nothing about pneumatic nailers, but the difference may be in the heads. Although traditional loose brads have a slight bulb at the head, similar to loose finish nails, brads for pneumatic nailers appear to be headless in the pictures I've seen.

   We use the term "nail" for a 15 or 16 ga. finish nail, we call an 18 ga fastener a "brad" and the 23 to 26 ga a "pin".

   My Senco SLP 20 shoots an 18 ga. slight head brad but I'm not sure what guns will shoot a lesser head.
