We call them Nelson studs where I live. They're good for putting down q-deck. I've used powder actuated tools that drive studs into steel beams (Hilti DX) in the past with good success as well. If I were planning out another industrial building with a metal roof I'd probably go with the Hilti DX, but both are good systems. It's faster and sometimes you can get away with not having to get a fire permit and having fire watch on site (but that depends on the client).

I agree with Nova Robotics.
I own a Hilty DX single shot 27 cal rim fire
and used to have a 500 amp nelson stud machine
the Hilty nails will hold down the decking enough to keep them in place in moderate winds while you can stud it up for rebar and concrete
When you are above the 10th floor there is no such thing as no wind and above the 30th floor you can consider yourself fortunate to get a sheet nailed down between gusts. many jobsites shut the cranes down at 15 MPH sustained winds. In the Middle East it can be so calm on the ground that it wont flutter a gold leaf but by the time a pick has reached the 25th floor the crane operator might have a moment when it feels like he is fighting a 900 lb sword fish on the end of the hook
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
