Morphology
core + shooter
The compound is compositionally regular: 'core' (the object being made) + 'shooter' (agent/device from 'shoot') yields a device that 'shoots' or injects cores, so a learner can plausibly infer a machine that propels/produces cores. However, the specific industrial sense of 'core' (sand core in foundries) and the less frequent noun use 'shooter' as a tool make the meaning domain-specific rather than entirely predictable, so some prior exposure or technical knowledge is likely required.
Etymology
Core shooter comes from the image of a machine called a shooter that blows or 'shoots' sand into a core box to form a hollow sand shape. So the name points to a machine that makes the sand 'core' used to make metal parts.
