They say the projectile is 1132 GRAMS.. but on the picture it show much smaller projectile to claim that weight.
I think it is 1132 GRAINS rather than GRAMS.
Not much impressed for it to shoot through 1/4 inch mild steel plate, heck a 223 FMJ can do that..
Very nice recoil tho

Welcome to the Forum.
Interesting video that looks like a crew-served weapon. I would hate to tote that in in deer season. All the best...

I have seen that before and it never gets old.
It is no longer the biggest cartridge/gun any more.
I think the Anzio 20mm holds that record now. yes, it is a shoulder fired rifle. I think it's used to hunt large game - like a brontosaurus or other bigger dinosaurs. It might be the reason they're hard to find now.
