A brad nailer will take much smaller nails than a finishing nail gun. A finishing gun is usually bigger than a brad nailer and heavier. Many times the finishing gun is made to get into angles better--like under the eaves of a house. The gauge is the size of the nails that fit into the gun. Different nailers take different size gauges.
Brad nail gun is usually 18 ga, not 16.
Yes, there is a difference. And no, they do not use the same nails.
