The picking gun, also called a pick pistol, is the device used by a locksmith to open a locked door using electric picking. The electric motor-driven picking gun generates vibrations that are intended to correctly position the locking pins in the cylinder core. As soon as the pins no longer block the rotation of the cylinder core due to the vibration, the lock can be unlocked. In addition to the picking gun, a tensioner is also used for electric picking – to pre-tension the cylinder core in the direction of rotation.

A picking gun can only be used to unlock a door if the cylinder does not have anti-picking protection. The keyway must also be large and wide enough to allow the pick gun to be inserted into it.

With older cylinders, it is often possible to open the door without damage using a picking gun. Newer cylinders are usually security cylinders. In these cases, it is generally no longer possible to open the door using a a picking or lockpick to unlock the door.
