Read the story before watching the video


The Pistol every home owner needs.. a 60 Caliber. This video is basically a "show and tell" custom built a Thompson Encore.The Caliber .600 Nitro Express. That's right... An elephant gun round in a handgun.

The story goes that the guy that built it is some kind of custom gun maker. He built this as an exhibition piece. He takes it to the range with him just to show it off, and the big guy that shot it (In the video) had been bugging the builder to let him shoot it. Now think about this... Only until
fairly recently(early-mid '80's) the 600 Nitro Express was hands down the biggest, nastiest, hardest Hitting, and heaviest recoiling weapon you could buy. It was designed for one simple Purpose... to knock an elephant flat on his butt. It was really built as an exhibition piece! This cartridge is known for breaking collarbones, arms, and shoulders of the shooter!


Think about this, in the gun world they use what is termed as" recoil Index" to kind of give prospective buyers an idea of what a gun kicks like. A 30-06 gets a rating of a 1.0, which for many people is about the limit of what they can shoot multiple rounds thru comfortably.


A .243 is rated at like a .4,


A .270 was like a .8, etc.


The .600 Nitro Express is rated at a 9.4... 9.4 times more punishing power than a 30-06.

Now watch the video .


:omg:

Just take your 12 gauge,cut off the barrel,cut down the stock and make a pistol out of it. Should give you the same effect.  We did it as kids, tied it in a tree-attached a string to the trigger, pulled the string and split the tree in two.

Some guys are just bored,...he takes a rifle caliber round that is meant to be shot out of a double-rifle that wieghs about 15 pounds at cape buffalo, and puts it into a pistol, I hope it left a permanent mark on his forehead as it went by.
