WOOD?
@katy-l-wood this looks like the inside of your cabin but like, if the neuclear apocalypse happened in the early 60s.
So, that gun cutout is very interesting. The barrel appears to be made out of a metal pipe, and the trigger seems to be operational. This tells me that this gun cutout might actually be a functional homemade gun.
A gun requires three things: a chamber for the bullet, a barrel, and something to strike the firing cap on the bullet with enough force to light the powder in the shell. The chamber and the barrel have to be flawless metal of a good enough guage, so it doesn’t explode on a weak point. So, it is very possible to create a homemade firearm.
The gun in the picture doesn’t seem to have a way to reload the bullet, so it is likely just a single-shot gun, and has to be taken apart for the next bullet to be loaded.
Tl;dr: that gun cutout might have been what put the bullet hole in the TV
