The gun uses precision-engineered CO2 power to project a precise dosage of AiM-L VetCap to treat the animal. Each VetCap contains an EPA-approved insecticide in a soft gel capsule, which can be fired from a safe distance of 20 to 30 feet while cattle graze or feed. It fragments upon impact, allowing the topically-applied insecticide to go to work immediately, similar to that of pour-on applications.

The companies have demonstrated the use and benefits of the gun's system extensively at cattle industry events to gauge market interest and gather input directly from producers. The companies say that test marketing verified that cattle producers are pleased to have a safer, no-stress method for timely and effective parasite control which eliminates the need for handling, extra labor and facilities.
