Can I use a regular nailer to install 3/8 t&g enginered wood floor ??????????

Rent the flooring nailer somewhere. They are made to seat today's
twisted flooring and use the correct nails to hold it in place. Our HD
here rents them for about $35 bucks a day.

You can bang down a helluva lot of flooring with it if you precut and
plan before you start installing.

Also the flooring nailer uses a cut nail much more appropriate to the
purpose...

NO. The flooring nailers use "T" head nails.

It is not just the angle, but when you hit the flooring nailer, is seats the
board at the same time. I suppose you can do it in two steps.
