50 pounds of roofing nails is a lot of nails. Why would they suggest roofing nails instead of finishing nails or ordinary sinkers?

I would think a roofing nail would have a mighty spin (big head and all).

That's a fine question. At Ft. Sill they just told us to use roofing nails. But I guess if things got real bad I'd be creative and reach for anything I could get my hands on -- maybe that's really what they were trying to teach us.
