Looks like a bazooka

HB872 pending in the Texas legislature authorizes in-state (with no Federally restrictions) production & sale of guns with a bore diamenter up to 1.5 inches! I can’t imagine what THAT would do to a user or a victim. It would be vicious on BOTH ends!

Sorry 'bout that.

Makes my .50 cal air rifle look puny...

[Jack Hydrazine]

Don’t let the Leftists know about it. They’ll have a friggin’ cow if they get wind.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is not a whole lot different than shooting a one ounce (437.5 grain) 12-gauge slug from a rifled barrel.

They don't tell the ballistics of their round, but the cartridge is not necked-down very much. I bet the muzzle velocity is less than 2000 fps.

20 mm Rifle

The video said it was a 2400 grain bullet at 2100 fps. That’s way more than a rifled shotgun slug. That’s around a 1/3 of a lb bullet.

I beg to differ. Bullet weight is 2800 grains and powder capacity is a lot greater than a 12ga.

I think muzzle velocity is 2200 fps.

Given E= 1/2M x V squared, the energy is a force of magnitude greater.

Muzzle velocity is 2100 ft per sec and they say so in the video.

The 12 gauge comes nowhere near the 25,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

[Bigg Red]

I would advise them not to post on YouTube, lest Obamugabe have them offed like the guy in Georgia.

[Gator113]

I am afraid that would crack open what’s left of my chest, but I’d still love to own one. ;>)

$40 a shot... ouch!

[South40]

I’ve always said it’s not that I like big guns, I like big bullets. I think I have met my match.

[dangerdoc]

You can buy 12 gauge slugs in the 8,000 ft-lbs range. They are very painful to shoot out of a pump shot gun. I hope they have a decent recoil management system! I see an ER visit after lighting off one of these rounds.

Bump for later viewing.

[dangerdoc]

How many grains of powder does that case hold? You’d have to buy it by the keg.

[central_va]

The muzzle energy of the .950 JDJ is comparable to the kinetic energy of a 2,800 lb (1,300 kg) automobile traveling at 20 mph (32 km/h).

[South40]

How many grains of powder does that case hold?

I believe they said 240 grains. That's big.
