Unknown Old Ammo Design

[Piper Cub]

My friend bought a bunch of old reloading gear from an estate sale and there was a toolbox with some odd old ammo. We know that most of the ones pictured are pinfire but the one in the lower left corner is different than anything I can find. The case goes out past the bullet and the back end has a "tab" sticking out the back. Does anyone know what this might be?

The one with the crimps and a wood pug looks like it might be a "shot shell" or a cartridge for use in a tool.
The large one with nipple?? at the end looks like a measuring devise.
The above a purely guesses

I have to agree that it does look a bit like a gyrojet bullet / rocket but with the rear end cap (that has those four small holes to let out the jet exhaust) removed.

Very collectible pin fire and teet fire.

Your strange looking round looks like something from an electrical "wire" nut, electrical wire crimp, or end of a brake cable cap.

Strange looking round indeed.

It’s a 32 cal teat-fire round. It wa popular in the civil war and was loaded in the front of the cylinder, teat to the rear.

Ditto for teat fire. NRA publications used to cover things like that a looong time ago.
