I'm not sure if this is even categorized correctly as per field, but the context here is an insurance claim for damaged goods in a warehouse of a distributor of printer and computer products/goods.


"Dans le cas présent, l’assuré a la garde de matériels informatiques à destination de l’univers de
la grande distribution (puits et pistolets de commande), mais assure également un rôle de réparateur sur des produits présentant des défauts intrinsèques (systèmes de caisse-scanner, écrans…)."

ink cartridges and dispensers


Explanation:
If the context is a printer, I'd say that the "puits" are the ink cartridges and the "pistoles" are whatever is used to get the ink onto the paper — probably the laser.

The terminology wasn't online. I wouldn't be surprised if the person who wrote the claim didn't have a strong background in mechanics or understand the specifics of printers either. Bonne chance!
