I have a really difficult time believing that rating is accurate. the Campbell Hausfeld one is likely identical to the Northern Tool one and any other similar appearance/price rivet gun and it is rated for
0.2 CFM.
I know the real world rating of a couple other things that are 2 and 4 CFM respectively and the volume of air being moved through them at 90 PSI is wayyyyyy more than a rivet gun.
