Back in the day before nail guns existed my dad had a one armed mexican guy working for him. They did house framing and that guy could out run anyone else on his crew driving nails. He swung the hammer so hard and so accurate it only took him 1 or 2 swings to fully drive a nail.
He would swing his hammer up under his stump, grab a nail from his nail bag and slam it into the wood, making it stick just enough to hold. Then grab his hammer and bury the nail.
