Tongue Groove

Can I install hardwood floor (3/4" tongue & groove) with a finish nailer or should i rent/buy a tongue nailer?
**A friend who is helping me has an air compressor and several pneumatic nailers, but not a "specific" tongue & groove hardwood nailer. (You know the one where you hit it with the mallet...) Installing 500 Sq/ft. Can just a normal nailer be used? Advantages/Disadvantages?
You really need a flooring nailer for this. Doesn't really need to be pneumatic. It would be easier, but 500 sf would not be too bad for a manual nailer.
Proper nail placement is important for flooring. It needs to go in at an angle to hold the flooring tight. A flooring nailer helps you get the flooring together tight as well. Instead of just pulling a trigger to place the nail, you hit the nailer with a mallet, driving the piece of flooring tight against the other and placing the nail in one action.
Don't turn down the finish nailer yet. You will need to nail the first and last few runs down through the face. You can't get the flooring nailer into the proper position next to a wall.
