    Is there a significance to it being in what looks to be a skeleton hand? Would think a simpler display would show off the gun more easily.

      It’s the hand of death to symbolize the massive death toll of the Great War

        It’s just symbolic? I thought it looked like a remotely operated gun and I thought TIL.

      This is 100% speculation, but I wonder if it is to deter or protect against theft. It’s a big welded steel hand, with a steel finger through the trigger. The thumb looks like it is riveted on. You smash that window, you’re not just grabbing that and running. You’re going to need an angle grinder.
