This looks like a receiver of an externally powered gun (aka autocannon/chain gun/grenade launcher (but not a flare gun))...
Guessing it is for a rimmed cartridge, but i couldn’t determine the cartridge size or the caliber..
i wonder if it uses a moving barrel or a moving chamber...
I am really looking forward to see the whole gun, or the fact that i misinterpreted all the components of this technical device...

Rats - yeah pretty sure hubble got it right, it's a fishing rod reel.

Wrong guess: It's a ghostbusters device to send the unspeakable ones (i.e. Michael Bolton) to R'lyeh.

Oh it is a gun all right... a PAINT gun. Shoots a whole can of paint each time you pull the trigger. Looks like it comes pre-loaded with a can of gray. So you too can say, "Okay honey! I'll paint that thing TODAY!"

Great White Shark Fishing reel. The only thing missing from this Gears of War esque set up is the 20' titanium rod and the body builder to cast it.

I had hoped to never see one of these again. My ex-wife had one. It's a, ahem, "marital aid". Needless to say, it didn't aid my marriage (she's happy with it, though). I won't go into more details. It's too painful.

It's a multi-purpose device for skin-head, Nazi, white supremist families: a combination rifle ammo chamber - fishing reel - fancy pie-crust roller.
