I’d pretty much guarantee this is just a decoration on the tip. You can see the seam where it attaches to the regular shaped barrel. It just shoots through the slightly larger attachment like a silencer or muzzlebrake.
I thought maybe if you had a shaped barrel and then just twisted it, you could spiral a bullet without cutting groves. Not sure if you’d ever find that easier than conventional rifling but people have tried wackier shit
Neat looking… But a pita to make and makes the seal between mini-ball + barrel worse, leaving you with more blow-by and less muzzle power.

it shot heart shaped bullets, obv
I wonder if anyone ever tried to develop rifling with irregularly shaped bullets
Rifling being the grooves inside the barrel that make the bullet spin, I’m thinking not. I can’t imagine anything but a cylinder working.

Whitworth rifle is the only one with a non round rifled bore that I know of.
You wouldn’t want to kill someone with your heart pistol.
What if you shoot them in the heart?
Well then you’d obviously be to blame.
You give love a bad name.
Fill it with rat shot and blow off someone’s hand
Only if the entire barrel is that shape; perhaps it’s only the tip for the aesthetics? That would also make manufacturing easier.
