The upper portion of the block carries a firing pin, and one or more cartridge holding chambers are provided in the lower portion. A cartridge ejector is mounted at the rear of the barrel. The block is slidable between a lower position permitting operation of the ejector, an intermediate position aligning the firing pin with the barrel, and one or more upper positions aligning said cartridge holding chambers with the barrel for transferring cartridges from the chambers to the barrel for firing. In one embodiment a tubular magazine is provided beneath the barrel for holding additional cartridges end-to-end and means are provided for transferring cartridges from the magazine to a cartridge holding chamber in the block, for ultimate transfer therefrom into the barrel.
