The problem comes in making sure you have more shooters than worms because you can only get them to shoot once.
(then they go to the hospital with dislocated shoulders.

When you think that it is .050 under the parapit guns that were used at some of the old forts like Ft Sumpter and those had a gimble that fit into the wall to fire it.

but that size muzzle must be very intimadating, as one of the posters have said a 2 or 4 bore was bigger now thats when men were men and sheep were scared
#10: Re: Another really BIG gun! Author: tlo7mm, Location: OregonPosted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 12:54 am ---- I would love to shoot that thing and as some have said only once but just so I could say I have done it.

Author: inthedark, Location: OntarioPosted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:46 am ---- Elvis - they said in the video that this was the first gun and that it was about 50 lbs and that the subsequent guns were 115 lbs (I think). The forces were unholy and there is no doubt that all of those shooters had bruises.

#13: Re: Another really BIG gun! Author: dhc4ever, Location: Ipswich, Queensland AustraliaPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 3:21 am ---- NOTHING succeeds like EXCESS.
Excessive recoil,muzzle blast and cost.
Ticks all the right box's.
Also exceedingly useless, but apparently fun in a masochistic sort of way.
Radar, you know whales are protected, the japanese whalers however.......
#14: Re: Another really BIG gun! Author: inthedark, Location: OntarioPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:22 pm ---- There you go DHC
The gun's purpose is to rid the world of Japanese whalers!
I agree wholeheartedly
