Don't bother with nail guns. They leave a bigger mark than doing it properly (not old fashioned at all) by hand.
Hot glue gun works as does mitre mate.

Re: Glue free engineered real wood floor in a lounge
Been there lol. Used to use one on the hand made kitchens and you can see the pin marks and still need to backfill. Once it was knackered I never bothered to replace it.
I can see the advantage for a bit more speed, but it isn't going to gain you enough time to complete an extra job on the same day.
The main advantage I found was that it freed up one hand whilst fixing mouldings at height.
Nice looking job, by the way.
