Hi. I need to understand what "Tarter" means in the phrase "The Feared Tarter Gun".
It's a fantasy comedy cartoon it's taken from. I have no idea of how this gun looks like or what it does.
Does the "Tarter" have to do something with a noun 'pie', adj. 'acid', or something else?

Yes.
The Tartars were a warlike people from Asia. They invaded China and Russia and were fearsome horsemen. The "feared Tatar gun" is a metaphor for the army.
The largest group by far that the Russians have called "Tatars" are the Volga Tatars, native to the Volga region (Tatarstan and Bashkortostan).
