Sod shrapnel (named after Henry Shrapnel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrapnel_shell) I'd be terrified of this weapon.

Wife has asked, "Does anyone know where this is?"

I can't help you I'm afraid, Lurker111.

I found the photo a while back on a Russian website, but that means nothing as they just 'harvest' images from all over the interweb.

I can't believe I actually looked into it but it is believed the photo was taken at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis outside Bancroft Hall: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bancroft+Hall/@38.981572,-76.4829554,-6a,58.9y/data=!3m5!1e2!3m3!1s793492!2e1!3e10!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7f64eb75b2241:0x64a7369ae816ee4f!6m1!1e1

Pretty neat as I've worked on the campus before.
