Weeds Controlled

Pistol® is a fast acting and effective total herbicide for pre- and post-emergent application, which both controls existing broad-leaved and grass weeds and provides ongoing residual activity to prevent new weeds from germinating.

It controls a broad spectrum of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds on natural surfaces not intended to bear vegetation, permeable surfaces overlying soil, and hard surfaces (railway ballast only). It can be applied once per year at a rate of 4.5l/ha.

Pistol® is rainfast within one hour, increasing potential spraying opportunities. In addition, the residual activity means that herbicide application frequency is reduced as surfaces can stay weed free for up to six months.

The systemic action of glyphosate means that it is translocated throughout the whole plant, proving effective control of both seedlings and established weeds. Diflufenican is a residual active substance which sticks to the surfaces forming a barrier which prevents weed germination.

The 5 litre bottle is sufficient to treat 1.1ha.


Target Species

Pistol® gives post-emergence control of both seedlings and established weeds as well as pre-emergence control by forming a surface barrier that prevents germination.

Instructions for use

Where to use

For use on:

  • Natural surfaces not intended to bear vegetation - Areas of soil or natural outcroppings of rock that are not intended to bear vegetation
  • Permeable surfaces overlying soil - Any man-made permeable surface (excluding railway ballast) that overlies soil and is not intended to bear vegetation
  • Hard surfaces (railway ballast only) - Any railway ballast impermeable surface that is not intended to bear vegetation

When to use

Pistol® can be applied from February until the end of July when weeds are actively growing and have not begun the process of natural dieback.

How to use

Maximum Treatments Pack Coverage Application Method Application Rate Water Volume Spray Quality
1 per annum 1.1 ha Conventional knapsack sprayer 4.5l/ha 200-500 l/ha Coarse
Vehicle mounted sprayer 4.5l/ha 200-500 l/ha Three star drift reduction nozzles
Knapsack with CDA applicator 4.5l/ha 200-500 l/ha Volume Median Diameter at least 300 microns


  • Add half the required water or carrier to the spray tank
  • Start gentle agitation and add the required amount of Pistol® to the spray tank
  • Mix and top-up the spray tank with water to the required level
  • Use immediately
  • For maximum persistence do not cultivate or rake the area following application



Additional Information

  • Do not use if an impermeable membrane lies between the porous surface and the soil
  • Keep an unsprayed buffer zone of 6m around surface water bodies when using vehicle-mounted spraying equipment (2m for handheld equipment)
  • Do not apply when plants are growing under stress conditions such as drought or water-logging or in windy conditions
  • Avoid drift onto non-target plants
  • Allow 6 months before sowing or planting any subsequent crops and plough or dig the soil thoroughly to reduce any risk of damage to the plants
  • Heavy rain following application can wash the herbicide onto sensitive areas
  • Pre-emergence activity is lower when the soil organic matter content is greater than 10% or where organic matter has built up on the surface
  • Only use a carrier when applying through a CDA applicator
  • Do not apply over drains or in drainage channels, gullies or similar structures for moving water

Active substances

Diflufenican

Bio-Chemical Mode of Action: Diflufenican belongs to the inhibition of pigment synthesis group of herbicides.
Pigment inhibitors work by interfering with pigment production, leaving the chlorophyll unprotected from sunlight. As a result, the cell contents are destroyed rapidly.

Mobility: Diflufenican is a residual herbicide with xylem mobile activity which means that as susceptible plants come into contact with the active substance, it is absorbed through the leaves and roots then moves upwards through the plant within the xylem (water conducting tissues).

Application timing: Pigment inhibitors should be applied pre– or early post-emergence. They are most effective when target plants are small.


Glyphosate

Bio-Chemical Mode of Action: Glyphosate belongs to the Inhibition of Enolpyruvyl Shikimate Phosphate Synthase (ESPS) group of herbicides.
ESPS herbicides work by shutting down the shikimate pathway which is used in the production of the proteins it needs to grow and survive.

Mobility: Glyphosate is a systemic penetrant which means that the active substance can be translocated downwards through the plant within the phloem (sugar conducting tissues) and upwards through the plant within the xylem (water conducting tissues).

Application timing: ESPS herbicides are best applied when the weeds are actively growing. They are generally more effective when target plants are younger and in their vegetative phases.

Resistance: As of 2018, 38 weed species distributed across 37 countries and in 34 different crop and 6 non-crop situations had been identified.

Very Straightforward and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I have used this several times, and it has always been a smooth and convenient experience. The biggest advantage is how intuitive the process is. Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion. It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases. Instead of entering payment details every time, having balance available makes checkout faster and more convenient. I also appreciate how quickly the funds are applied, allowing immediate use once the reload is completed. This is one of those simple Amazon features that works exactly the way it should. Overall, easy, efficient, and user-friendly. I have been very satisfied with it. Five stars.

Easy and simple: Exact Step-by-Step Guide to Reloading Your Balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
I found reloading my Amazon gift card balance much easier than expected. The process was simple and took about 5 minutes at most. Here are the exact steps to do it: ​Login: In the Amazon app or on Amazon.com, log in to your account. ​ Menu: Tap the 3 lines on the bottom right corner of your screen (next to Rufus, Amazon's AI). ​ Find Category: In the section highlighted "Shop by category," tap on Gifting & Registry (3rd option down in that section) and a drop-down menu will appear. ​ Select Gift Cards: On the drop-down menu, tap Gift Cards (first option). ​ Choose Your Action: "The Gift Card Shop" will appear. There you will have three options: "Redeem a gift card," "View your balance," and "Reload." ​ Start Reload: To add funds, tap Reload. ​ Select Type: Scroll down to "Add funds directly to your Amazon Gift Card balance" and tap which reload type you want (one-time, low balance auto-reload, or scheduled auto-reload). ​ Enter Amount: Choose your reload amount. The default is $25, but you can type in your own amount as well (the minimum amount is $5.00). ​ Finish: Tap the orange "Buy Now" tab. ***I used the Amazon app using the u i OneUI version 8.0 these Amazon app on Android version 16 (Baklava) on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Others may have a slight variation of the menu setup on the Amazon app.***

Easy way to add balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
Reloading my Amazon gift card balance has been easy and convenient. I like using it when I want to keep a little money set aside for Amazon orders or make checkout quicker without thinking about which card I want to use. The process is straightforward, the balance shows up fast, and it has been reliable every time I have used it. It is also helpful for budgeting because I can add a set amount and then use that balance for regular purchases. Nothing complicated about it, which is exactly why I like it.

Monthly reload for Subscribe & Save Orders
Reload type: One Time Reload
Not a glamorous review, but a genuinely useful tip for Subscribe & Save users. I reload about $100 to my gift card balance once a month, a week or two before my S&S order processes. Amazon pulls each Subscribe & Save item as a separate transaction, which means 10+ individual charges hitting your bank account on before or on ship day. A headache for budgeting and a minor anxiety trigger if you're watching your account for unauthorized activity. Loading the balance first consolidates everything into one clean transaction. Your S&S order then pulls from the gift card balance rather than your card directly, and your bank statement stays tidy. The side benefit is built-in budget discipline. I set about $100 as my monthly Amazon ceiling - if my cart runs over, something gets pushed to next month. It's a simple system that keeps spending intentional without any extra effort. If you're a regular S&S user who wants cleaner finances and less ""wait, who charged this and what was that charge?"" moments, this is worth making a habit.
