If you think your rifle is hot...

Try the 2 Bore. 2 Gauge rifle. Yes, 2.

That means a 3500 grain (half a pound!) bullet at over 1,700 fps muzzle velocity.

That's just nuts. I guess since those Brits can't have anything semi-auto, they decided to go the opposite direction and just build the biggest single-shot they possibly could. Wonder how that bore diameter compares size-wise to the grenade launcher that attaches to bottom of an M4?

The page says it fires a 33.68mm bullet. Those grenade launchers are 40mm IIRC.

Waste of time. $795.00 for 10 rounds of ammo if you handload them? A complete waste of time, and money. Interesting exercise, but... meh.

:shock:
With that barrel diameter, it would make one heck of a bore loaded shotgun. A lot cheaper to fire than the cartridges too.

Would that be considered armor piercing or armor shoving?

But the good news is that after spending only $159 on ammo downrange, I'd imagine most normal people would have developed just a tiny bit of flinch and might be disinclined to continue shooting the remaining $636 worth.

I wonder if they make a suppressor for it? ;-) Better yet, I wonder if Saiga will make a semi-auto version...

What will the Brady Bunch say this baby is capable of doing? Shooting down the Space Shuttle?

I wouldn't mind firing one. :coolgleamA:
