One thing Carl didn't point out: aviation rivet practice
involves the rivet snap, driven by the gun, against the HEAD of the
rivet, and a flat bucking bar against the end to be mushroomed. This
makes the rivet pull the sheets together tightly. Peening aircraft
rivets in the old-fashioned way by upsetting the end with a hammer or
set is unacceptable.
