Are there more photos of the excavated piece than the one I see? I'd need many more photos, close up, to get an idea of the beast under consideration. I wouldn't have such a big problem with it if it only had one departure from "conventional" contemporary gun design, but the fact that it has several significant differences causes its identification as any kind of a gun to be somewhat suspect. It reminds me somewhat of the strange industrial residue that is being offerred on Ebay these days as "nine hole cannons" or whatever.
