I want this gun.

[heptofite]

It fires the .577 Tyrannosaur Round
And as this video illustrates, you can't actually use the gun without dropping it.

Saw this about a year ago. I laughed all the way through it...especially at the arabs! LMAO!!! That's how we can win in Afghanistan. Sell them a bunch of these things and tell them the butt-plate is supposed to rest on their forehead!

I wonder what the ballistics are on it and how accurate it is? Seems like it will probably put a hole the size of a basketball thru anything out to a half mile but I bet it drops fast after that. But would be fun to try once and then let my shoulder heal

 

[heptofite]

apparently it was invented to stop charging game, like rhinos and elephants and shit.

I wouldnt shoot it and I have shot some big bore stuff, thats shits to hard on the body in all ways.

You dont even have to hit it either. Just let the recoil send you flying out of harms way.

I used to have a girlfriend who's rino charges often made me fly out of harms way, that gun could have saved our relationship.

You mean like this?? The part I'm referring to is around the 2:25 mark. My pant would be plenty brown after this.

 

[RollinWOT]

I'll take my SKS, thanks. That's just plain dangerous to everyone in the vicinity.

Not something you want to shoot much i found a company who has the ammo, a wallet of 10 .577 TYRANNOSAUR, will cost you $224.99.

I have a round for it. It is a monster.

I believe that weapon is illegal to own in the US. Iirc it is illegal to own any weapon that fires a projectile larger than half an inch in diameter. Thats why there is controversy over .50 cal bmg rounds. The unfired round is actually .512" while the barrel bore is only .500" so technically they are legal because as a projectile they are in fact half an inch.

Depends on how many times it bounces off the ground.

It isn't the actual dimension itself, there must be something tied to the performance. Here it is easier to buy a .54 cal muzzleloader than a .22LR.

The problem with a .50BMG, is it is a .50BMG not that it is a .50.

Any centerfire rifle (maybe pistol too?) over .5" bore is considered a "destructive device" according to the ATF. Black powder and shotguns over .5" bore are exempt from DD status.
