https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_bolt_pistol

It's a captive bolt pistol, or cattle gun. It's what they use in slaughter houses to stun animals before killing them.

In commercial operations, rates of failure can be significant and multiple shots are often used. One study looking at cattle found that 12% were shot multiple times, and 12.5% were inadequately stunned. Other research has recorded higher error rates, such as a study looking at young kangaroos and finding that 38% failed to be stunned.

Ahhh, the meat industry. Isn't it beautiful...
