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.

In the 42 states in the US that support at-will employment, you can be terminated for ANY cause at all, so long as it's not discrimination that's protected under law. Even then, good luck proving it. You can literally be fired for any reason whatsoever. I don't know what the laws are in Europe, though.

This is one of the first coin operated machines, called an honor box, circa 1800s I think. It was used at pubs. Someone would put a coin in, pull on a lever, and a drawer with tobacco would pull out. You would take your fair share of tobacco and push the drawer back in. The coin is kept in a compartment.
