Dear friends! I am editing a Russian text for a comics. In it, there is one phrase in Latin (which I do not know):

<<Arcuballistarius pete, bestia. Glans solum in manuballistula habemus. Si labaris -- vae nobis.>>

By author’s intention, it is supposed to mean:

<<Aim at the arbalester. There is a single bullet in the revolver. Woe unto us if you miss.>>

Is his Latin OK? If it is not, could please suggest a correct phrase in Latin. I would extremely appriciate it.
