No type of gun sets those.
If not mistaken it requires an air hammer and bucking bar.James A Groome

Re: C3 splash shield mounting rivets
They are made of soft aluminum and as noted above you can use an air hammer with a bucking bar. The aluminum is so soft that you can also use a hammer and back up the rivets with some type of steel plate.Comment

If that rivet is the one you plan on using for splash shield installation you might want to double check if correct type. Per UPC 1 sheet D9 rivet #9409244 is a #100 countersunk head aluminum rivet 3/16 X 7/16 pointed head.Comment

FWIW I set some 1/4" dia STEEL rivets yesterday for a bracket on a bumper, it took more time to get out the tools and set up for the job than it did to set the 2 rivets.James A Groome
