I'd watch ebay for a used 4X or bigger rivet gun. I have an atlas copco 4x and it hits pretty damn hard for it's size. I put a quick chuck on it and use standard air chisel bits.

If you're on a budget maybe consider this one. I can vouch for RODAC -- I've used this air hammer all my life, and it's a quality product that was made in the US back in the day. They are no longer produced, but parts are available, and mine have never needed service.

Old Rodac is good stuff. I bought an old well used long board Rodac air sander years ago that looks absolutely beat, but has served me well. I would vouch for the brand, especially new!
