Staple guns for 6 core etc = great
but for coax? a no-no imo. if you compress the coax you affect its transmission properties higher up the spectrum, making balancing of systems hard to impossible in some cases.ok, if its only 10 meters of cable, but above that, not worth the risk.
Im speaking from knowledge of large aerial systems, but the principal holds true in cctv cabling too.

Yep agree. but unless you get the pressure spot on it crushes the cable. staple guns only have 2 settings, and there is no way of judging the hardness of the particular spot you are driving one into, so even if they had multiple settings, still no good for a coax. when i say crushes, its only a minor change of the shape of the cable that is needed to affect it, so staple guns are a no-no in the coaxial world
