Feel free to caption this in your mind. And it's not a photoshopped pic. Like I'd know how to do that.
Yupper...I don't know if I'd even last fer 20 or 30 rounds....wow...never fired a .500.
When I was an early teenager...13 or so...a farmer I worked for let me fire a 10 gauge double barrel. What he didn't tell me was that the weapon was faulty and when one barrel fired...the other one would go off as well. Needless to say...my shoulder was really black/blue and painfull for some time after that and I was gun-shy for many years when it came to any double barreled weapon...
Sweet mother of pearl. Thats worse than the old long gun my father and friends let me shoot, and for years I had put it out of my mind and always thought it was just a big rifle until Badanov refreshed my memory and reminded me that the old English Boys was in fact an anti-armor weapon.
The "Boys Anti-Tank Gun". English fella name of Boys developed the thing and lots of them found their way into the hands of US servicemen. They apparently were good at punching holes through the light armor of Japanese tanks, and Badanov knows all about this stuff.
All I did was crank off a couple rounds when I was a kid and make believe that I really liked turning my shoulder blue. My Dad was a Marine, HIS Dad was a Marine and holy shit but weeping wasn't exactly a thing for celebration so's I asked to shoot it again and they thought I was nuts and said no.
Call me a skeptic but I don't believe that isn't a fake pic. Have you ever seen a revolver that big? (It looks like a revolver.) Her finger couldn't even reach the trigger.
Oh man, you got a bazooka? Can I come play? I know how to build a tree fort...
Seriously, Pat, it's the real deal. There are highly skilled gunsmiths the world over who do silly things like this because money talks and when some scazillionaire wants the biggest revolver in the world and price is no object...
.600 Nitro Express. They make a special sling for it that resembles a pair of suspenders invented by Rube Goldberg, and as long as you're, say, 230+ pounds and have a solid stance on firm ground, it won't knock you down much.
Fits, how the hell could I (legally) get a bazooka in the USA? I wish. That revolver must weigh over 20 lbs and the .600 ammo would probably rip her arm off or at least dislocate it.

This is the first time I've had this gun back in my hands since I fired it 8 weeks ago...had to wait to get the cast off'n my wrist....
Thanks, Cookie. Can you even imagine shooting that thing?
Dunno if I'd try. Heaviest I ever shot was a .500 S&W and I'm here to tell you that the blast effect just wears you down after about 20 or 30 rounds.

Kicked. Like. Hell.
OK...gotta show my ignorance....What was the "long gun" you're referring to ....ya got me?

I think I'll stick with a bazooka. :)

Ya know Fits...lookin at the revolver itself...I'll bet if its real...it uses .45-70 ammo...whatdya think.....
It's the epitome of a niche round. Cookie.

Well...I'm 240 lbs so I guess I'm somewhat safe...lol....thanks...but no thanks.
Yeah, I saw those pics from that shindig.
Dunno if I'd be up to it, Cookie. What I'd probably do is ask one of my brother's to shoot the thing first.

So you don't have a ...
It isn't nice to get an old jarhead all excited, Patrick.
Ooops...Patrick...your in deep shit with Fits..."Its not nice to fool with old Marines"...I'd watch my back if'n I were you.....
Dammitall, Cookie...he told me he had a bazooka.
