Guess what this is a photo of!

[pacanis]

Is is powered in some way? I notice a pin holding something on the smaller part. Is that part supposed to come out to use it? Does something in the small side do something to something else in the larger side? Does it sit on the end with the pin when in use, or on its side as it is shown? I have no clue what this could be!

First to Andy's question: No

I found this item on the internet, so I'll let you know what I know.

Is it powered? Yes, I guess you could say so. It is a mecanical device that can function on its own.
Does the pin come out to use it? I believe it would have to.

Some of your other questions are a bit too technical
There are different sizes and shapes of this device. I'm pretty sure that it needs to sit a certain way to function correctly and get the desired results.

pacanis, looks like it's time for a clue or two.

 

[pacanis]

Hmmm, I was thinking it was time for another guess ot two

It's used outside.

 

[sattie]

Anything to do with surveying?

 

[pacanis]

No.
It is more of a "fun" device.

 

[sattie]

Was something blacked out on the photo????

Ok, something fun... a kalediscope?

 

[pacanis]

Yeees, some words were blacked out.... I didn't want another "Cleaver house" incident
The words did not say what it actually was though. Nor were they instructions...

Nothing to do with looking through or into.

 

[sattie]

Ok ok ok... get off the 'scope' I hear! Ok, here is a guess in left field.... anything to do with painting??

 

[pacanis]

Yes.

Beddy-bye time.....

 

[sattie]

Yes.

Beddy-bye time.....

Really????!!!? Wait... no bed for you!!!

Have a good evening... I will see what I can come up with!

 

[pacanis]

I'll add; painting is a stretch, but it's so hot I had to say yes to the guess.

 

[sattie]

Does it shoot something?

 

[pacanis]

You could most certainly say that about it too, Sattie!

 

[Andy M.]

Does it shoot paint balls?

 

[pacanis]

Andy, you are right on top of the answer to what this device does.

 

[Andy M.]

Does that mean close but no cigar?

 

[Andy M.]

Is it used to make paint balls?

 

[pacanis]

No, it doesn't make them.
It is related to the paintball thing, but not actual "paintballs".

 

[Andy M.]

Cool! I just happen to have one lined up because I didn't notice Barbara's post last night when I posted ice cream freezer. Thanks, Andy.

What is this, specifically?

It's a two tone whistle you blow when the paint ball game is over.
