B. Using 90g disposable (threaded) prefilled 

cartridges (with 90g Adaptor):

If choosing to use this CO

2

 format; select the 

90g ASA Adaptor supplied in VetGun box.
Thread the 90g ASA Adaptor into the VetGun 

ASA located beneath handle until tight. 

Thread 90g (threaded) cartridge into the ASA 

Adaptor and turn it tight, until the CO

2

 can 

be heard rushing into the VetGun. Note: as 

the ASA Adaptor Converter pierces the 90g 

cartridge, turning too slowly or not tightening 

sufficiently may cause excessive CO

2

 to escape 

unnecessarily. Only tighten by hand.
When unloading gas, please refer to UNLOADING/

DEGASSING instructions on Page 8. 
To reload a brand new canister, repeat Step 2. 

To reload a partially used canister, refer 

 

to UNLOADING/DEGASSING instructions on 

Page 8.

C. Using 14oz Refillable Cylinder  

(no adaptor required. CO

2

 cylinder sold 

empty and must be filled before use):

If selecting to use this CO

2

 format; you will 

need to purchase this VetGun Cylinder. You 

will not need to purchase an ASA Adaptor 

as the VetGun Cylinder fits directly into the 

VetGun ASA located beneath handle. Thread 

the Cylinder into the ASA Adaptor and turn it 

tight, until the CO

2

 can be heard rushing into 

the VetGun.
Note: turning too slowly or not tightening 

sufficiently may cause excessive CO

2

 to escape 

unnecessarily. Only tighten by hand. When 

detaching gas, please refer to UNLOADING & 

DEGASSING instructions on Page 8.
Once detached, Cylinder will not discharge 

gas, and can be re-used and/or refilled.

 

CAUTION:

The VetGun should not be considered “safe” 

when it is charged with gas but is not loaded 

with VetCaps. Bursts of CO

2

 from the VetGun 

can propel dust and debris causing eye injury.

Never look directly into barrel, even after gas 

canisters have been detached. Some gas may 

remain in VetGun if not dry-fired sufficiently, 

and cause eye or other injury.

If the Magazine Tube is not in place, it must 

be installed in the VetGun. Slide the Magazine 

Tube through the rear Tube Guide and into the 

Breech Cover. Lock the Magazine Tube in place 

with a clockwise quarter-twist.

VetCaps. Premature unsealing of VetCaps may 

further affect performance of VetCaps.
