Morphology
The phrase is compositionally interpretable as a "machine that shoots cores" so a learner who knows the three words can guess it is a device involved in a shooting action related to cores. However, the noun 'core' and the gerund 'shooting' have specialized, industry-specific senses here (sand cores; forcing sand under pressure) that are not the usual everyday meanings, so the exact technical function is not fully predictable without domain knowledge.
Etymology
Core shooting machine comes from a simple picture: a machine that shoots sand into a core box under pressure to make a hard sand 'core' that shapes hot metal. So it means a machine used to make those sand 'cores' for metal casting.
