The Ballista Penetrating Bolt Gun | Spring-Powered Humane Dispatch

The Gold Standard for Ethical, Small-Scale Harvest.

When it comes to an ethical harvest, the Ballista Penetrating Bolt Gun is the essential tool for small-scale processors. We trust this exact German-engineered tool on our own farm for everything from our show rabbits and cavies to standard homestead poultry.

Unlike non-penetrating stunners, the Ballista forcefully drives a hardened steel bolt to instantly and humanely destroy the brain—providing a painless dispatch comparable to a small-caliber bullet, but without the hazards of lead or firearms.

Why the Ballista is the Professional’s Choice:

• Self-Contained Power: Powered by a highly durable, internally housed spring. No dangerous exposed rubber bands to snap, and no need for expensive air compressors or cartridges.

• Compact & Precise: Engineered for small livestock up to 11 lbs (5kg). Its lightweight, 14.4 oz design allows for maximum control and one-handed operation.

• Low Maintenance: Completely corrosion-resistant and designed for simple, tool-free disassembly for easy cleaning and sanitation.

• Quiet & Safe: Operates with minimal noise, reducing stress for both the animal and the handler. Includes a safety lanyard for secure handling.

Honor the harvest with a tool designed for compassion, precision, and lifelong reliability.
