CORRECT! The big hint was the interior of the Hughes 'Spruce Goose"; both are the largest in the world, hollow/round, and the windtunnel blades on the the GM wind tunnel are Sitka spruce...and it is the world's largest windtunnel mostly used on cars.
Quote:
Here is a huge tunnel, in fact is a powerful automotive wind tunnel, which is equipped with fan blades with a diameter of 43 feet (13 m 1). Fan blades can be blown with air stream at 130 miles / hour (208 km / h). The blades are made of laminated spruce. The event was timed to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of Aerodynamics Laboratory of General Motors, located in Warren, Michigan, USA. To date, this object is unique and the most powerful on the planet.
Over to Jimbuna!

Good guess, I see where your coming from but no, not a weapon.

Some may consider it to be that but that was not the initial theme.

It is a building and people do occupy it but not on a residential basis.

Not a fence but a type of building that was or considered to be an icon.
