It looks like a projectile that would come out of a bigger missile? The bigger missile releases a bunch! of these on the way down, the fins open and spread out spreading there devastation far and wide. It looks like it had some kind of detonator unscrewed from the tip as well.

Thats my GUESS anyway.
 
looks like it might be a 120mm practice round of some type -- hard to tell with nothing to scale it by
 
I believe that it is an 84mm HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) practice round. Weighs a little over 12 pounds. Has a velocity of about 225 fps, and has a penetration depth of 400mm or about 15 inches. Also called the "Carl Gustav". I am not certain though and I am really just guessing. So it is in effect a rocket propelled grenade.

those seem to have 4 fins instead of 6. I also don't see a nozzle or a retainer for a rocket motor.
 
I believe that is a 105mm non-rotating HEAT practice round.
 
It's not an AT-4 (aka Bofors M96) SMAW, LMAW.

I'm working on a 2.6" model of this in paper cardboard and thin plywood, with a 29mm engine. Getting the folding fins to work is "interesting"...
