Further failures of the gun grabbers in OZ

[dedndave]

it's an Anzio 20mm rifle - they weigh 59 to 130 lbs, ~38,000 ft-lbs muzzle energy

the rifle in the 700 nitro video weighs about 18 lbs, ~3,900 ft-lbs muzzle energy

the amount of kick is roughly proportional to the (muzzle energy) / (rifle weight)

not that i want to fire any of them - lol

notice, the bipod helps a lot

[dedndave]

btw - 20mm is .787 caliber or something
although, it does have a much larger shell casing than hunting calibers   :P

In addition to a high mass, the rifle could have a built in recoil reduction mechanism like the Barrett 50’s, and the object at the end of the barrel looks like a muzzle brake.

Those silencers look like they were made from oil filters. The orange looks like the color that Fram uses. I wonder if they machine the exit port, or just let the first round do it

[hfheatherfox07]

All they do is buy that washer ( adapter) , and an empty Fran filter, first shot makes a hole :)

We use to thread john deer oil filters on to lee enfields when I was a kid in northern ontario. All very exciting, but I wouldn't recommend taking more than 2 shots with it. On another note I use to own a .458 magnium, and it's not a gun that you would want to target shoot with all day long, it would leave quite the nice bruise after 5 or 6 rounds.

[hutch--]

Don, what were you hunting with a .458 magnum, elephants or rhinos ?

[Don57]

Moose. When I was a kid I had a .303 round bounce off the skull cap of a moose, as a result  it got very upset and charged me. An upset moose is not a pleasant thing, it tends to knock over everything in it's path including trees. It took 5 rounds from a .357 revolver to bring it down. So I was determined that it would never happen again. I agree a little over kill, but better safe than sorry.

Don,

Not a dissimilar story to my own, used to go shooting feral pigs long ago and I saw a guy shoot a big boar in the head with a .303 from front on and it furrowed up its skull, took out one eye and the pig was very unhappy. He took it out with the second shot. I shortly after bought a Winchester 44 magnum. They definitely stopped after the first shot.  Apparently the guys who specialise in shooting big pigs like solids in a 12 guage.

we have javelina here in Az - similar to a wild boar

http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/game_javelina.shtml

i can see using a .458 on them - they have a very thick skull
i don't care for the meat, so was never interested in hunting them
but, they are pretty easy to find - and you could make some nice leather from their hides

[MichaelW]

If by “Javelina” you mean a Peccary, they are tiny compared to the more dangerous and harder to kill feral hogs. For an extreme example do a search for “Hogzilla.”

You weren't kidding.

I don't think even a grizzly would take one on.

or - posted on the internet in a photoshop contest   :P

i would hate to come across a critter like that
it would tend to make you understand how food feels - lol
