A Real BFG !!!!

for all those who feel the need for a reeeeaallly big gun try the Thunder .50 BMG !

Does this thing have, um, any practical purpose whatsoever? Strikes me as a novelty item.

oh its a 50.cal doorknocker looking gun man taht is an ugly looking peice of metal

Who would want a breach lock these days?

clarification: the .50BMG is a 12.7x99mm round. so...

B'er FG:


even B'er FG:


always wanted to shoot somethin' with that Mechem 20mm...

One day, I must have Angie use that Steyr in a fanfic.

Imagine shooting a PERSON with the Mechem.

only way to fire such a big round in a pistol,mind you i think you would have to be careful which way the wind was blowing as a lot of the powder would burn after it left the barrel, so if you fired into the wind you would most likely lose an eyebrow or two !

it was built to show how effective the recoil absorbtion system it uses was,it was mostly a demo piece for that system,apparently it worked well enough to allow controlled fire with it

There is 2.54cm or 25.4mm to the inch, so a 20mm round is about .80cal bullet!
DAMN!!! What are you going shoot with that thing?!!
Oh, just some cans...
Cans?!!
Yeah- Africans, Jamicans, Mexicans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans!
(care to add to the list?) (LOL!)

Almost looks like a supersized Colonial blaster from the 1970's Battlestar Galactica.

you know it does kind of look like a Colonial Blaster. Ha, that's cool.

ElfenMagix, it's a breach loaded weapon because I don't think any mechanism that could otherwise load a .50 BMG would be just to damn large.

So am I the only one left wondering just what the smallest weapon you could reasonable make to fire .50 BMG rounds would be? Cause that would hilariously awesome for clearing rooms.

And from an entirely different building, no less. How convenient!

you could probably take a tank out with that think lol. as for its practical purpose, its obviously a baseball bat from the future

or you could hunt squirells

or you could hunt squrrels elephants

Fixed.

That there's an elk/moose gun, Awin.

For those of us that consider the metric system to be the devil's own work, 462 m/s = about 1515 fps, that's supersonic speeds with a 900gr bullet, which is just shy of 1/7th a pound.

the original Cordite loads from 1909 are listed as being 2050fps (620m/s) and 11,400J muzzle energy, but that might be from an actual elephant gun.

thats the sort of muzzle velocity of the .577 Tyrannosaurus rifle,the one on Youtube that sends everyone who fires it flying !

the pistol above has all its moving parts gold plated to prevent corrosion

How the heck are you supposed to grip that thing? By the barrel? No way! Even a strong, two, handed grip would have that iron slight blade lodged between my eyes. How's the recoil on that thing?!

at 13 pounds in weight and the muzzle ports the recoils supposed to be about 60 degrees,but it is supposed to be rested on somethung when fired,each shot costs $40

recoil eh? I think this deserves an encore (I don't think it's the same pistol, but most places I've seen the vid claim it's a .600NE)

thats a Thomson contender .600 nitro express magnum,its a single shot target pistol,but it weighs half as much as the Zeliska so its harder to control

so how about a 2 bore gun ?









above are .700 nitro express and the massive 2-bore round,it fires a 3500 grain solid bronze bullet




on the left is a S&W .50,then a Winchester .45-70 then a .700 nitro express,and finally the 2-bore !

Obviously the word "subtle" is not in their vocabulary...

What prey do they use those things for, anyway?

Tyrannosaur?

really big slow moving targets you can't really swing that gun around to much !

my shoulder hurts just from lookin' at that thing.

me like... ME LIKE!!!

If you really want a big gun then the Puntgun is for you ! it fires a pound of shot and would often kill 50+ ducks in one shot !



this is from tremors 4 it has a 2 inch diameter bore,it is a working gun

G_d D_mn!!! A lot more than just feeling are going to get hurt with that thing!!!

they were tied to punts ,the recoil would send the punt flying backwards a few inches

Triela could handle it.

You need BFG? We have it!
How about that?


Revolver .577

By the way, I posted this photo in "... silencer" theme

.577 ,isn't bad, but pales next to a .600 nitro express !

.600 Nitro is for girly-men.

Men use .700 Nitro Express.

And real men use .950 JDJ.


While technically a girly-man caliber, the name alone allows this round to be wielded by men without shame - .600 Overkill.

those are rifle rounds though,the .600 is a pistol round !

How big is a .950 chambered rifle? The wikipedia entry says it's too big to take out hunting, but what if you put it on a truck?

Pretty frackin big. The McBros 95 caliber single shot bolt action rifle weighs 86 pounds.

I don't know. I've been rabbit hunting with a 30-06 and I fucking swear those little fuckers are psychic. No wonder my uncle Juan brought his 20-gauge.

MODERATOR NOTE:

I split off the posts about unique/odd weapons into their own post here so we can keep this thread about "BFGs".

Was watching another episode of Ultimate Weapons on The Military Channel last night and saw this interesting modification for the AR-15 that allows it to fire a .50 caliber round.

The .50 Beowulf

It's purpose is to allow personnel manning checkpoints the ability to engage and stop vehicles, which is something 5.56x45mm NATO can have a problem with (it has been shown to bounce off of sloped laminated glass as found in car windshields and it also can have issues penetrating deep into truck and car passenger compartments when fired head-on).

What a useless pice of shit.

That would describe 5.56x45mm NATO in an anti-vehicle role, which is why the .50 Beowulf round and modification were developed.

I meant the gun is a pice of shit but the .50 Beowulf is not to my liking as well its just a over-hiped cartrige barated my popular culture and buff-wanna-bees. No offence meant by that.

Well it's not meant for general use. It is specifically designed for anti-vehicle use at checkpoints to stop suicide bombers driving car bombs.

Very pointless since follow up shots are gana be really hard to do dont you think?
