Its a punch, like for a die to make holes in sheet metal. The groove in the shank is to retain it, although its a different style than I've seen.

What it would be used for gun-wise, other than a punch for driving pins out ... no idea. Not a good idea anyway, harder 'n woodpecker lips and likely to chip. And since it's hard and strong, the piece that comes off will be sharp and moving fast. Had a fragment like that in my finger for years.

I believe your correct, when I look at the small end it is very square and almost sharp, My father worked in the printing field, so maybe a hole punch.
