Used to do it with a poleaxe or a mallet. It’s considered better than slicing the animals carotid/aortic arch and hanging them upside down before stunning.
I think neutral gas asphyxiation would be. Unfortunately they usually use carbon dioxide instead for pigs. I consider carbon dioxide to be much worse. It’s both acidic and makes you very aware you’re suffocating. At high concentrations unconsciousness is generally very quick though because your blood will literally dump stored oxygen whenever it encounters high levels of CO2. Makes lungs work in reverse like you were in space.
Edit: I use your here because I’m only trained in human physiology but it works essentially the same
That’s pretty much it. Your hemoglobin decouples oxygen for CO2 in areas of high CO2 concentration. This is good when you’re circulating oxygen to muscles that need it. It’s bad when you’re dumping all your oxygen reserve to the atmosphere and instead making your blood more acidic.
If you like good character pictures that are just about events in a larger setting, like some westerns, it’s a great movie. If you’re looking for something with a compelling story and satisfying conclusion … maybe skip.
What is this device?
Pneumatic bolt gun - when used for killing cattle, it shoots a little metal bolt directly into the brain.
Fuckin’ creepy
Well yeah, he’s literally slaughtering people like cattle.
It’s explained in the movie that is a device for killing livestock.
It looks like the thing used for slaughtering cattle.

Usually not fatal by itself nowadays because if you scramble brains you risk spreading mad cow to people. Stuns before you bleed the animal out.
Not fatal D: that’s barbaric

There has to be something better than either of those choices D:

Just curious wdym by lungs working in reverse where CO2 is what’s circulated and oxygen is the exhaled “waste”

Coupled with the low partial pressure of oxygen, you’d be going unconscious within seconds. But those seconds are… not pleasant.
We’re civilized people btw
Watch the movie No County For Old Men
Nah. Already got an answer.
Missing out on an incredible movie, but you do you

I’d specifically call it a Western Noir.
The comic is depicting the character in the movie, not just his weapon of choice. It’s worth watching.
