Skeet,
The only gun that I could think of, as a class, that would use a cartridge like that would be a pin or needle fire rifle. The primer is inside the cartridge and struck by a "needle" firing pin going into the paper cartridge. Actually the primer is at the rear of the bullet.

I do believe that is what you have.

The Belgians had a bolt action rifle that shot a paper cartridge that is very similar in appearance.
Best,
Ed
