Well think of it like this. Which will make a better joint?2 pieces of wood getting pushed into the same direction, or, 2 pieces of wood being pushed in different directions toward each other?

Not saying you doing it wrong. Just showing that maybe using screws would be better if your not using clamps.

well i know the box is plenty strong, as i jumped up and down ontop of it, back in my heavier days //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

a nail gun with 12v battery or electric would do the job right(not the ones with air compressor)?

If I had enough clamps I would never use screws or nails, just glue.

Did this on the first box i made. Did really well actually.

nail gun is a lot faster. But i use both depending on what i run into. Sometimes a nail wont close a gap, which is where screws come in

Yup.

If I get perfect cuts, brad nailer only. Plenty of wood glue!
