  • Patent number: 4531322
    Abstract: An apparatus for stunning animals and which has multiple propulsive charges. The apparatus is of the type in which a spike or plunger is projected toward the head of an animal to be slaughtered. The barrel of the apparatus is mounted on a part pivoted to the breech for pivotal movement about an axis parallel to the axis of the barrel. This arrangement mounts the barrel for pivotal movement between a position in which the barrel can be locked to the breech for firing, and a position in which the cartridge chamber of the barrel is aligned with cartridges in the cylinder of a magazine located in a handle connected to the breech. This arrangement permits simply pivoting the barrel into alignment with the magazine to load a cartridge into the chamber, and then pivoting the barrel back to the firing position in which it can be locked to the breech.
