We need some idea of it's size. I have a pellet sizer that is similar. It sizes pellets to a certain size and ensures they are round. All but the most expensive pellets are packaged in a tin where damage occurs to their skirts.

Barrel from a flare gun? no clue now LOL
Looks like a barrel from a kit gun I have but mine does not have that firing pin thing, it is a (match) gun. It that thing rifled or smooth bore?
it's a paper weight!
