Not a mystery, it’s a black powder blunder bust pistol.

Thanks, I've never seen a pic of one that fat & ugly......er...I mean with such a big looking bore. Pretty darn nasty at close range for opponent & user, it would seam LOL

It appears to me that he is shooting it at a shed. Obviously the first time he shot it
or he would have a better grip, lol.

Still more accurate than my AK.

Or this one. Epic big bore, and a cannon [though proportioned like a coast mortar]

I'm disappointed to not find the whole clip, including the projectile squeaking after firing until exiting muzzle.

I bet the lot was funny. These days the technos would probably have shown score marks from the bore. Always happy to laugh....even at meself.
cheers

more interested in the gun you see in the RH background of @43-44s of the video - looks like the recoil arm of a towed artillery piece.
