I had what may have been the same gun.
It was essentially a Daisy lever-action BB gun without the BB-handling bits . . . just a big ol' open muzzle.
When "fired" it produced a pretty substantial "POP". If you added a few drops of oil down the barrel, it also produced a respectable cloud of smoke with each of the next few shots. In fact, as I now recall, it was called the Daisy Smoker.
If you stuck the muzzle into the mud before firing it would propell the plug of mud a goodly distance.
It was the gun on which I learned that cocking the gun and then firing it with the lever hanging down will result in a much-unexpected rapid closing of the lever with the very-much-expected painful smashing of any fingers in the way. Oh, OUCH!
They must have been somewhat under-marketed as I never saw another one.
Ah, memories . . .
