Been doing that too recently with my Bosch 10.8v drywall gun with collated attachment, been using 25mm drywalls to good effect.

Do you not find that the dry walls screw heads shear off?? Turbo golds for me.

Left this for a while before replying as thinking about it I had only used the drywalls on ply and on insulation boards but knew I had a bathroom floor to do using hardibacker 6mm - did it today using the drywalls and every screw went in fine with no sheared heads.

Drywall screws to brittle wouldn't recommend using them to fix anything to a floor. If you screw one straight threw a stick then tap the end with a hammer you'll see how easy they snap.
