Just for fun, although fun is perhaps not an appropriate sentiment for this thing!

Can anybody guess what this bad boy is and what makes it special?

A fire extinguisher.

What makes it special is it works by using up all the available oxygen.
 
Is it a rocket-assisted shell of some sort?
 
It wouldn't be a nuclear artillery shell, would it?

B****R! Beat me to it...

Nuclear shell?
It is!

280mm designed for use in the M65 Howitzer. The shell in the picture would have been stuffed with conventional explosive as the atomic version would not have been safe for display.

I did wonder whether the National Guard would have been given nukes....
