A new firefighting nozzle has a base nozzle with one size or type of orifice and one or more auxiliary nozzles with a different size or type of orifice that a firefighter can easily see. At the centre of the shaft between the two diaphragm chambers is provided an annular notch in to which is located an arm extending from a U shaped frame. A hook component may then be engaged with a loop component of hook and loop material attached to the strap of the securing device so that the strap of the securing device remains in an overlapped configuration. The configuration of the pistol is such that two shots may be rapidly fired in a \u201cdouble tap\u201d manner, and the receiver can then be released using a thumb latch, whereby the receiver will be tilted upward and an auto-ejector will eject the spent cartridges.
