Ok, 437.5 grains to an ounce says that the bullets weight in at 21,875 grains. Quite a heavy bullet.

28mm would be 1.10 caliber or what we would call a 110 caliber if I did the math right. Think about that, a bullet over an inch in diameter. THAT’s gonna leave a mark.

Now what was the point of building that stupid thing? What good is it? It probably weighs 30 times more than the average impromptu rocket launcher, and you have to manufacture the bullets one at a time over a period of weeks. Some people have way to much time on their hands, and not enough real enginuity to make it practical in the real world.

Will Joe Biden tell him to fire it through a door?
