Abstract
A fluid operated dispensing gun for dispensing viscous material in a disposable cylindrical cartridge. The dispensing gun has a hand grip and a barrel releasably secured to the hand grip.

Fluid passageways are provided in the hand grip for providing fluid communication from a source to the rear end of the barrel. A pair of manually operated valves are provided, one valve being provided for opening and closing the fluid passageway to the rear end of the barrel and the other valve being provided for controlling the rate of flow of the fluid entering the rear end of the barrel to thereby control the rate at which the viscous material is ejected from the cartridge.
