A firing pin (42) of the firing mechanism is off-set (56) from a centreline (54) of the breech body, and the cartridge, which is of a shotgun type, has a rim-fire percussion cap (63) complemental to the off-set of the firing pin. Conventional shotgun ammunition cannot be fired with the tool, and cartridges for the tool cannot be fired by a conventional shotgun.
