Clearly, it is a primitive rubber-band gun.

Easy. For those of you who are trying to shoot someone, but they get a hand on your gun and move the barrel away from themselves, just pull the second trigger and voila! Hand-be-gone!

It’s a musket that fires chainsaws.

It was the most deadly weapon of it’s era.

Damn, the one I know has already been answered. Ragnorak is correct; my friend owns one. They collect weapons, and this is one of the legal ones they own.

18t century, steam age recreation of “inquisition-punk” flintlock — an attempt to return to the days that never were by some Victorian blogger.

Looks like the colonial version of a weapon used in Gears of War.

It’s a precursor to the pneumatic hammer, powered by gunpowder instead of compressed air. The teeth on the locking wheel are there to prevent the hammer “head” from bouncing back and injuring the user.

Its a Winkletaker bung cutter. George McCroon Winkletaker, a frustrated gunsmith, tried to incorporate the power of gunpowder into other aspects of colonial life. His eccentric career was ended when he was attempting to demonstrate the cannon-powered carriage.

Why it’s a clockpunk Speed Racer knife-gun buzzsaw combination. What else could it be? He used it in his big fight vs. Snake Oiler. (Best Bad-Guy Name Ever)

It is a flintlock fire starter-for catching tinder/char cloth on fire.

By: Craig Clayton

I believe it is a timing mechanism to fire a flint lock. You set the wheel where you want and every time something actuated the trigger it counts one notch, when it reachs the firing spot it fires.

This one’s easy… it is a device to measure the strength of gunpowder mixes. The number of clicks it springs forward tells you how big the explosion was.

Matt’s suggestion ain’t bad.
