4 Device overview
5How it works
• Pulling the bolt [2] at the disc [1] up to
the latching point tensions the spring.
• When the trigger button [3] is pressed the
bolt is accelerated by the spring force,
it passes through the muzzle out of the
device and penetrates the skull of the
animal for slaughter.
• The shot stuns the animal.
