Hidayats cattle slayer

Hey I found this old image of your pistol Hidayat.

Are those round balls or pellets from the top?

Very interesting!
Where might a person be able to acquire such a pcp pistol?
I’m thinking for euthanasing trapped animals, so it wouldn’t need to be sheep or cow power, but enough to deal with a possum or feral cat.

I used to use a crossman co2 powered .22 pistol, it was fine for rats, hedgehogs, ferrets, and possums, but its power was marginal for feral cats.
Also I hate the idea of single use disposable co2 cartridges, which invariably leak over the few days inbetween needing to use the pistol.
A full size pcp rifle does the job, but a pistol would be much easier to carry around.

Pete,
That's interesting you finding cats are hard to kill like possums are. 

Years ago we had a mad cat woman - she was on the telly  - and I ended up trapping some cats and really surprised how a slug in the ear at point blank range sometimes did not do the trick the first time.

It turned what I thought was a routine dispatch into a very unpleasant job.

Do cats have thick skulls?

Whenever I get a wild cat or possum in my cage trap, I use an old Crosman 1322 pump-up .22 pistol to kill them in the head at point blank range.
