Richard, that is a small gun. Mine has a 1 1/16" dia. piston x 5" stroke (not a 100% sure about the length of the stroke)
But quite a difference between the gun sizes.
Paul, there are smaller rivets of different sizes, but 95% of them are 3/8" in various lengths. Basically the rivet need 1 1/2 times it's dia. to form a head on a flat surface, and nearly twice the diameter (of rivet sticking through, out the other side) to form a rounded head into a countersunk hole. This means when you buy them they want to be in the area of 20mm longer than the thickness you intend to rivet. The point is, Don't buy them too short. (You'll need a carrier first)
