In the US, the general answer would be no. A captive bolt gun (commonly called a stunner or humane killer) cannot fire a projectile, and as such, fails to meet the definition of a firearm. (bolt may be driven by a powder charge, but being captive can only move a short distance) In a like manner, powder actuated tools, such as a Hilti Gun or Ramset, used to drive fasteners through wood, metal, etc into concrete are designed to prevent a projectile being fired. They may be regulated in other ways (OSHA has specific requirements for these) I am unable to comment on laws in other nations such as the UK, Canada, or Australia.
