Only if the compressor can build up enough pressure for the pressure requirements of the nailgun. Assuming you can obtain the required pressure and you've shot a nail, you're going to have to wait for the pressure to build up again before you can shoot the next nail.
In reality, it would likely be faster for you to use a hammer and a nail set.
If you use the mini-compressor to fill a portable tank perhaps.
Not like you would need.

What gauge? I used a C-H 'power pal' (think that's what it's called) for a little while with an 18ga.
As others have said, the compressor runs continuously, noisily, and gets hot; but if all you need to do is to shoot a couple of (small) nails, it may work, for some definition of 'work'.
Having said that, it was great justification to go out and buy a real compressor; and I've since added to my air 'arsenal'.
not to mention that after you strip off the oversized plastic and get it down to a manageable size, they make a great emergency pump for airing up your motorcycle tires. If you should ever get a flat while on the road.
Best 12 bucks I've ever spent I think.

alright, thanks guys....been a great help!
Not likely - I'm having trouble seeing the other replies so I apologize if this has been suggested. You may be able to charge a small portable air tank with one of those compressors. You could then use that to drive the gun. Not a rooofing nailer or framing nailer but brad nailer pin or finish nailer may be fine. bigger nailers use more air and would use up capacity very quickly.
