A picture question - what's this? And no cheating with reverse image search...

some sort of gun?

 

[Bolton's Boots]

some sort of gun?

Yes, but what sort?

When I first heard of them, my first thought was why would a gun be needed there?

Need a clue I think

 

[Bolton's Boots]

Need a clue I think

I thought the word 'deadly' might have given it away - maybe shorten it to 'dead'? Where would you expect to find them but not a gun?

 

[colognehornet]

I would guess from the clues that it's a gun situated in a cemetary somewhere, but no idea where.

It could have been anywhere really. The gun in the picture is a cemetery gun - used extensively in the 19th century in UK and USA to deter resurrection-men. They were set up near the foot of a grave on a swivelling base, and triggered by a tripwire looping around the grave. Any would-be body snatcher approaching soon found that he needed a grave himself.

Over to you.
