A Chechen Bubba home-made handgun. I don't know what cartridge this is supposed to fire, but I wouldn't be willing fire this without using a string and sandbags anyway. Thanks to DANEgerus weblog for source material.
That looks a lot like some of the homemade shotguns I've seen over the past 40 odd years. I've seen some that were just a piece of pipe with a spring-loaded handle using a dull nail as a firing pin; you pointed it at the target and pulled back on the handle and let go to let it hit the shell. To reload you unscrewed the cap holding the handle and spring and popped in a new shell, then screwed it shut. I've seen a lot of odd zip guns over the years, most were shotguns or .22 caliber.

It likely fires the same grenades used in the Russian GP-25 underbarrel launcher.
