When I use 20D common or sinker nails, I use a 20oz hammer. For 16D common or sinker nails, I use a 16oz hammer. For 12D I use a 12oz hammer, For 8D I got a 8oz hammer. But I just bought a box of 4D finishing nails. No one sells a 4oz hammer. What should I use?
What size hammer to use?

Use your asshole, asshole.
In the same manner that you are trying to impersonate someone with a wit, you can try to impersonate a hammer and pound them in with your face.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
You dummy. Put the nails in two at a time. You are such an idiot.
Just thinking about that makes me want to upchuck.
For people like you, the forehead is perfect. Ever wonder why it is flat?

Put your thumb, or other appendage, on the nail and hit it with the 20oz hammer. The appendage will absorb part of the blow, and onl;y 4oz of force will impact the nail. Even better, place your appendage on the nail and have someone hit it with a 9 pound sledge.

It's OK to use an 8oz hammer. Just use blasting caps as a drift. It softens the blow.

Maybe I should have said it deadens the blow :-)
