What’s he holding in his hand? What’s he doing? I’m so confused xD

It’s a captive bolt pistol, or cattle gun. It’s what they use in slaughter houses to stun animals before killing them.
In commercial operations, rates of failure can be significant and multiple shots are often used. One study looking at cattle found that 12% were shot multiple times, and 12.5% were inadequately stunned. Other research has recorded higher error rates, such as a study looking at young kangaroos and finding that 38% failed to be stunned.
Ahhh, the meat industry. Isn’t it beautiful…
It’s also shown in IT, the recent adaptation. I never though about how it’s done before seing it here.
That hairdo is way too normal looking.
A lot of thought went into that haircut, friend-o.
[The haircut] is wedgy, greasy, somehow old womany, and that, combined with Bardem’s machismo, makes it unsettling. The actor himself is supposed to have reacted, “Oh no, now I won’t get laid for the next two months,” when he saw it.
Now the man behind the cut has emerged. He is a Canadian hairdresser from New Brunswick called Paul LeBlanc who has previously styled hair on movies such as Star Wars and Casino, and who shared an Oscar with make-up artist Dick Smith for his work on Amadeus.
Le Blanc says that his inspiration was from the crusades, “when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight.”

Yeah, the comic doesn’t do it justice.
"Hold still, please. " he croaks as he hole punches the forehead.
