It’s a gun with built movie camera. It’s a pity in spite of this camera … we haven’t been able to eliminate bad acting in movies.

looks like a bolt gun used at a slaughterhouse.

User aims at the cows head, and hits it with a bolt, knocking the cow unconscous. this way the animals throat can be split and it won’t feel any pain (except that of being hit by a heavy bolt). user reels in the bolt and waits for the next animal to come along.

i’ve never seen a slaughterhouse bolt gun, but the guy who wrote Fast Food Nation gives a good description, and that thing above is exactly what i imagined!

It is a camera designed to train gunners in accuracy. it shoots half frames of 35 mm film and you can put a watch in the clear section to record time

While this doesn’t give you an answer based on what I think the device was… but a remark based on what I think it should be used for:

“The best way to film people who want to be on Reality TV shows.”

Let’s start with the oldest show, Real World, and work our way up to the most obnoxious, saving them for last.

Oh, and if you can fit the cast of The Hills in there somewhere, that would be great.

It’s a coin-operated ping-pong ball gun for use at amusement parks. Put a coin in, you get a certain amount of ping pong balls, shoot them at targets. The metal bar by the stock is a mount, pulled back for this picture for some reason.

It’s a keychain. See the ring at the far left. It just needs some keys and then its purpose would be obvious.

Clearly it is a plasma cannon. Perfect for killing Aliens.

the crank looks like it might transfer torque to a shaft, and the unit might be held held vertically. Some sort of core sampler w/ view compartment?

It’s a ballistic test gun. You put a small helpless animal like a bunny or kitten in the window area at front, pull the trigger, and see how much goo dispersal you get from various types of ammo.

By: AJ

AJ — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:00:51 +0000

It’s a Barbie Defabricator. Insert Barbie into the nozzle, click, and 90 seconds later her clothes appear freshly washed and dried in the collection chamber.

The Defabricator is usually pink though. This one was owned by a perv.

You know what it looks like, that weapon in the first Matrix movie. The one Cypher used to kill Dozer, and then Tank used to kill Cypher.

It’s not a camera gun, it’s a camera gun. It shoots tiny movie cameras which are used for all sorts of interesting shots. This is what they used to do some of those “bullet time” shots that were made famous in The Matrix.

LOLkittenLauncher. Type PE-WP-EW-1337. The clear glass chamber is where you store 2 to 5 LOLkittens. The amout of kittens one is able to fit in there is proportional to their cutenessfactor.
In case of a shortage of cute kittens, the larger chamber in the back is loaded with a so-called “JackinDE”box containing .38 cheezburgers.
I can has?

Movie camera of some kind I think. Military recon, presumably. If it is, it’s WWII I think. Uses the same paint and construction styles as other junk from that time.

T-Shirt cannon?

By: Randall

Randall — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:28:08 +0000

Its not actually a gun at all. Its a circa 1919 colonoscope. There’s a reason grandpa didn’t like doctors.

By: Melphistopheles

Melphistopheles — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:26:40 +0000

Do you really want to know?

Early. Colonoscopy. Device.

Check out the huge crank on the side!

Yeah, it’s a gun camera. But Mcggyver could catch fish with it.

Yup it’s a Type 89 Machine-gun Camera by Rokuoh-sha, there’s a wikipedia entry on it here:

It’s a Bowfishing DRAG FISH REEL . Draw, aim shoot: haul back the line with the reel. Maybe with fishy attached, if you are a good shot.

It’s a bug catcher. Bugs get sucked into the clear collection chamber which detaches so your kids can view the critters. Do not use on daddy longlegs or crane flies because their legs tend to get ripped from their bodies.

By: N.M.

N.M. — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:34:58 +0000

I would have to say that is an ancient CS/ mace/ pepper spray/ whatever you wanna call it shooter. By the size and sturdy looks might need a vehicle or a tripod to serve as a stand.
So yeah… I think this might be a riot control minigun.
