GRP, what is a "Chop gun"?

Just had a friend call me up asking about a Chop Gun and if i knew whjat one was.
Thje only thing i can think of is those horrid things that spray a mix of finely chopped strands and resin onto a mould, the way thay make bath tubs and shower trays, would this be what a Chop Gun is?

Yup. It's a chopper gun

"In spray-up process continuous strand roving is fed through a chopper gun, combined with catalyzed resin, and sprayed onto the mould surface"

I could make a right old mess with one of those as tend to switch off when laminating so when anyone speaks or suddenly appears it makes me jump...
