Rather than a staple gun, you might try upholstery tacks and a
magnetic-tip tack hammer.

Tacks (with a tapered shank) work badly on chipboard, as it's too
inelastic. If they work the slightest bit loose in service (and they
will), they fall clean out. Similarly, to a varying extent, with
plywood. For man-made sheetgoods like this you're better with paralllel
shank fasteners, including staples.

To put them in, an Arrow T-50 is still the best thing around, short of
an industrial grade pneumatic.
