That is a piece to one of my old airsoft guns. The two front pieces snapped off when I dropped it on accident. It feels like it is made of aluminum caster, I know it is some type of metal for sure, but not positive of which one.

What would be the best glue to glue it back together?

Thanks

You signed up for spudfiles just for that? Anyway, you should probably use JB weld or some other kind of metal epoxy.

gorilla glus takes 12 hours to dry, JB weld dries in about 6-8 hours. gorilla glue foams up and is kinda messy and unpredictable.

Also, gorilla glue sets in about 2 hours, JB weld sets in about 5 minutes and is alot neater.
