Explanation:

Line Throwing Gun. A small gun used for shooting lines from wrecked vessels to the shore or another vessel or vice-versa.
Line throwing gun is nothing more than a short barreled cannon designed to fire a projectile attached to a rope to a boat / victim in distress.

The shooter would fire, aiming over the victims head and then pull the line within reach of the victim. They are also useful for rescuing victims that have fallen through the ice, or are stranded on a cliff or burning building.
