A shell assembly (4) includes a pusher assembly having a main pusher (28), a staple pusher (30) and a knife pusher (32). A compressible member (38) positioned between the main pusher (28) and the knife pusher (32) is movable between a first configuration for advancing the staple pusher (30) through the first firing stroke to drive at least one staple from the shell assembly (4) to staple tissue and a second configuration for advancing the knife pusher (32) through the second firing stroke to drive a knife (33) from the shell assembly (4) to core the stapled tissue.1/12 (N (NJ4 (NJR
