Cool blog, did you see this… An iTouch ballistic calculator….

iPod Touch mounted on M110 Sniper Rifle

The 600 nitro express is a powerfull cartridge, but a revolver in this caliber is a BULLSHIT.

quote corey:

The recoil i hear isnt nearly as bad as you would think due to its massiveness and weight. 13 pounds about. More than a rifle in most cases anyway. Quoted from website: The gun weighs in at total of 13.23lbs and consequently is heavy enough to absorb most of the violent recoil. In fact it is said to be on scale to firing the Smith & Wesson .50 Magnum.

that 13.3 pounds keeps the free recoil to only 8x as much as a 30-06

Eight times as hard a kick……

there is no way a shoulder stock would be a wise idea….
crazy for sure…..

here I thought 4,000fpe was bad enough from the good ole .458 Win.

nuts for sure….

Damned thats ridiculous.

A 30-06 has way more power than 1800 FPE. Here is one example:

Modern Center-Fire Rifles
30/06 Government – 168 Gr. “Winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip” (b.c. .475)
2790 fps/2903 fpe

Doesn’t a 30-06 have the same energy?

IIRC it has about 1800 fpe..
I think i’ll stick with my s&w 29 44 mag..Clint Eastwood says its the most powerful handgun in the world and I believe him!! 😆

What does a 30-06 have? This one says it has up to 10,000 ft.lbs when shot from the pistol. Even more when used in a rifle.

How much energy would the 06 lose if fired from that short of a barrel?

Doesn’t a 30-06 have the same energy?

Really? The 17plus thousand dollars for the gun itself doesnt throw you? )

That thing is crazy ).

Corey; I’ve had both my hands sewn back on. They both work okay but I’ll never be the concert pianist I would have been.

Shooting a hand cannon capable of nearly 8,000 FPE at the muzzle would surely blow the stiches out from either hand. Pass. AKULA
