Erich, Rivet guns are rated 2X, 3X, AND 4X, the smaller guns have a short stroke and only intended to set rivets up to 1/8" the 4X guns have a longer stroke and are intended to set up to 1/4" rivets, typically I use 1/8" rivets for 18g and 5/32" rivets for 16g.
PS there is nothing to stop you setting the rivets by hand with a traditional snap, it is just a much more laborious process.
