HF has them. The gun is cheap and that's about the only way to do them because of how they work. There's a nail looking thing in the middle and you insert it into the hole, put the gun over the nail, and the gun grabs the nail, pulling it though the stem of the rivet, widening it so that the rivet can't come out and finally the nail head hits the hole, stops, and the gun stretches the nail until it snaps off and your rivet is then set.

Yep. Poke some small holes into the pipe that align with holes in the metal. The holes should be barely large enough to slid the pop rivet in.
