Variations
captive bolt pistols are three types: penetrating, non-penetrating and free the bolt.
In the penetrating type of anesthesia uses a pointed bolt operated by compressed air or a blank cartridge. Bolt penetrates the skull of the animal, the skull, brain damage, and catastrophically, and part of the cerebellum. Due to concussion, destruction of the vital centers in the brain and increased intracranial pressure, the animal loses consciousness. This method is currently the most effective and most common form of anesthesia, since it physically destroys brain matter (increasing the likelihood of a successful stun) while leaving the brain stem intact (thus ensuring the heart continues to beat, facilitating a successful bleed) . A disadvantage of this method is that the brain matter is allowed into the bloodstream, possibly spreading to other tissues where bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease).
Sinipot stunner
The non-penetrative stunner is similar, but the bolt is blunt with a mushroom-shaped tip. Bolt strikes the forehead, and immediately the power is restored. This corresponds to loss of consciousness, concussion of the animal. This type of anesthesia is less reliable to cause an immediate and permanent unconsciousness than penetrating types, but it has gone through the recovery of the popular concern about mad cow disease. The European Union, this captive bolt design requires the slaughter of animals used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.
free bolt stunning used in an emergency, in-the-field killing of large animals that can not be underestimated. It differs from the true captive bolt gun, the projectile is not withdrawn, and it works the same style and powder-activated nail gun or conventional firearm. Able to shoot first when pressed onto the surface (usually the animal’s forehead), unit fires a small projectile through the animal’s skull. The veterinarian can then either leave the ends of the animal’s bullet wound, or administer a lethal drug. Use

cattle, goats, sheep and horses, are penetrating captive bolt is typically used because it destroys the brain, leaving the brain stem is intact, resulting in a more consistently reliable stun, and the guarantees of the heart continues to beat animal during the bleeding process. Captive bolts allow for meat trimmings from the head can be saved. In some veal operations, non-penetrating concussive anesthetic is used to preserve the brain for further processing.
Great Cow
bolt pistol to stun is safer to use in most red meat slaughter situations. No danger of ricochet or over penetration as regular firearms.
cartridges typically use 2 to 3 grains (130-190 mg) of gunpowder, but can be used for up to 7 nuclei (450 mg) in case of large animals such as oxen . Speed ​​of the bolt is usually 55 m / s case, small animals, and 75 m / s for large animals.
There are some good places in different animals:
Shipping Cattle in general: the middle of the forehead, the shot directed to the esophagus. Some animals, like the old Hereford cattle, which is too much hair on the forehead, and bulls that are too thick skull, stunned in the back of the study. This is known as “poll blow.” It can make cattle unconscious, but may require more businesses, because the location of the bolt is more difficult.
Other cattle: less or the intersection of two imaginary lines drawn Eura Horn is an internal canthus of the opposite eye.
Pigs: the forehead is a point 25 mm above the eyes, conducted an anesthetic for the esophagus.
Sheep and Goats: The ridge, which runs under the bottom of the Horn. Direction of shot against the esophagus.

One of the popular culture of the earliest appearances in popular culture is a stunner in 1976 French film matress Sadomasochism, where the protagonist, played by Grard Depardieu, visit the slaughterhouse, and the witnesses are shaken by horse a bolt gun and then exsanguinated. It is also described in 1992-the film Benny’s Video, and later, the killer has weapons-of-choice of Cormac McCarthy’s novel No Country for Old Men and the 2007 film adaptation of the same name, and season seven episode of CSI Miami, and they Offed.
