English term or phrase: bolt section
Here's yet another item from the multiple choice quiz for prospective lairage operatives. This item is included in a group of questions about stunning.

''9. When an animal enters the stun box what should you do?
a) ...
b)...
c)...
10 .Which of these indicates a double stun is needed?
...

11. After using the gun what should you do?
a) Wipe the gun with a disinfectant wipe
b) Reload a bullet for the next animal
c) Leave the bolt section open and load another animal''

I just don't know. Is this ''bolt section'' a part of the pistol or of the stun box?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

barrel


Explanation:
This method works on the principle of a gun and fires a blank cartridge and it propels a short bolt (metal rod) from the barrel. The bolt penetrates the skull bone and produces concussion by damaging the brain or increasing intracranial pressure, causing bruising of the brain (Fig. 52). The captive bolt is perhaps the most versatile stunning instrument as it is suitable for use on cattle, pigs, sheep and goats as well as horses and camels, and can be used anywhere in the world. (Although electrical stunning is preferable to captive bolt pistols for stunning pigs and sheep.) There are several different manufacturers of captive bolt pistols, and after the initial expense, running costs are minimal. Users must ensure sufficient supply of cartridges, which may be different in caliber for stunning guns from the different manufacturers. These features make the captive bolt the stunning instrument of choice, particularly in developing countries.
