I saw a video of a guy who bought a single-shot version of this pistol. Had this high-end scope on it and it was really nice...until he fired the thing and it tore from his hands to flip over his shoulder onto the pavement.
He stated on a forum later that he has no interest in ever firing his $3000 pistol again... Mark(psycho)Phipps( HAHAHA! ) |

i statted up something similar in SR3, using the CC FCG. i basically just took a sport rifle frame and gave it a cut-down barrel. i think i also gave it a cylinder instead of a magazine, which isn't technically legal, but whatever.

...just got to have a good centre of gravity (which KK has), know how to brace, & use a two handed grip (which is why she wants only one). I agree that there would be a Recoil penalty, but if you just tag someone with this baby it's pretty much good night. This is no hand cannon, it's a hand assault cannon. |

...needs a bullpup grip. I can't believe that dude was going to "one hand" it at first.

That was fragging HILARIOUS.
That's a gun for orks, trolls, and the heavily cybered. Wait, I just realized... a pistol mounted in each cyberleg, aimed down... firing these rounds.. who needs hydraulic jacks!? |

That's just plain wrong. If you say that bullet is made of pure lead and is cylindrical it would be something like a third of a meter long. Or does gr mean something other than grams in non-metric? EDIT: gr=/=g as has been pointed out below

that is 900 grains, not grams. Not sure how grains translate over but I know they are small units of measure.

supposedly accordingly to the ProKon conversion program:
1 gram = 15.432358352941431 grain so 900 grains is 85.319 grams |

Okay, my bad. gr=/=g
Grains sounds like an impractical unit of measurement, though not more so than pounds or inches. |

That's a good book though, I still laugh when I think about the Paintball match where the demon transformed the markers to real guns. :grinbig:

My understanding is that the 3rd digit usually indicates some kind of "versioning". I'm not a gun expert so my knowledge is limited in this area. But to my knowledge a .223 bullet is the exact same diameter as a .22LR, and there is also .30-06, and .308 which are also the same size. Along with .50AE, .50 Baowulf, and .50 BMG. They may be in different shapes and different casings, but the diameter of the barrel is the same. So if there were a different type of .60 diameter bullet, it would be a .601 or .602 |

It came from the elephant gun, that fires that caliber, typically a double barreled side by side, with break open action.
That elephant gun was called by its users the 600 Nitro Express, Nitro Express is the cartridge brand name at one time. FYI there is 500 Nitro Express round also. The original version of the elephant gun, transmitted all of the recoil to the firer, if not correctly handled, it broke shoulders, and other injures. Is it the most power of the so called elephant guns calibers, no others have taken its place. :D Technology marches on. :) |

ugh, makes me think of how octal is designated. with a leading 0...
so 013 and 13 can be two different things or something like that... |

For the Nitro is was mostly spin, 600 sound more impressing than a 60. :)
For their time, elephant guns were highly priced weapons, so one needed all the spin one could get, when trying to market such weapons to those with lots of disposable income. :D |

Are bullets with a diameter in excess of .50 even legal? I know you need a background check for silencers and machine guns, but I didn't think you could get such big bullets even with a background check (since no maximum size would let you buy artillery if you wanted).

Maybe the distinction lies in artillery firing explosive shells, and elephant guns firing big (but relative to artillery shells, rather smallish) lumps of lead. I don't know, this would vary form country to country. In Norway you wouldn't be able to buy machine guns at all, background check or no. |
