It’s a pop gun. I have one that my grandfather made for my father. You put a Chinaberry into the tapered bore and push it a couple of inches down the bore. Then you take another chinaberry, put it in the bore and the you quickly push the plunger down the bore and, with a pop, it sends the first chinaberry at your “enemy”.
The barrel of mine is octagonal and made of oak and was probably made around 1925 +/-. Somewhere along the way, the plunger has been lost.
