A viscous-material dispensing gun is presented which has a front material receiving portion and a rear drive portion. The front of the gun is loaded with viscous material and snapped into place by means of a locking collar and pins. The front conical portion of the gun is attached by thumbscrews. A flat or conical shaped disc is then driven by spring power, air pressure, or electrical power. This front disc forces the viscous material out the tapered nozzle of the front of the gun. Safety mechanisms are provided to insure that the driving force for the plunger does not drive the plunger out of the mechanism when the front portion is removed. A number of front material receiving cylinders may accompany the rear drive unit to insure the continuous ability of the workman to apply caulk or other material during the job.
