I'm disapointed they didn't mention the calibre. Was it a 50BMG cartridge? A 12.7mm machine gun shell or a 155mm artillery shell?

The team in the operating room found themselves having to extract a “collectible shell nearly 20 centimetres long” (nearly eight inches).

Everyone knows it's a myth that length is important. Women of discerning taste and frenchmen of questionable apetites need girth! ;)

What's the diameter?
