So You Think You Have A Big Gun?

Midas · 02-17-2008, 07:00 PM

The .750 Nitro Express is the creation of the Imperial Russian Armory in Houston, Texas. It uses a 4.5" case and a true .750 diameter bullet weighing 1300 grains. It has been tested to 2200 fps and that would make the muzzle energy 13,975 foot pounds. Taylor knockout value is a whopping 306! Recoil has been described by the originator as beyond the limits of the human body. Here's a pic of the .750, shown with a .35 Whelen and a .460 Weatherby for scale.

A. I realize I do not have a big gun.
B. I realize I will never own a big gun.
C. I am now content to be a little gunner in a big world (ha-ha).

Midas,
Anyone willing to "shoulder" that thing would have to be on some sort of organic meds!(mary-jane,pcp,heroin,coke,crack,meth etc.)

nvshooter · 02-17-2008, 07:43 PM

It looks near-phallic...

On what would it be used? A 458 WinMag or a 460 Weatherby will drop anything on the planet, correct?

ArkansasHunter · 02-17-2008, 07:54 PM

That was BIG !!!! I would recommend buying disability Insurance before shooting that !!!...A.H

Windwalker · 02-17-2008, 07:55 PM

That thing could kill on either end of the rifle.

SwedeSteve · 02-17-2008, 08:01 PM

Ridiculous!

madcratebuilder · 02-18-2008, 08:23 AM

Looks like fun to me, I don't think I would own one, but I sure run some ammo through it. Hell yes. Recoil is just mind or matter.
I don't mind so it doesn't matter.

meatloaf · 02-18-2008, 03:02 PM

ZOMBI GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ArkansasHunter · 02-18-2008, 03:16 PM

I know I wouldn't own one !!! I wonder what 1 round of ammo cost for that monster ?

Oh crap I just had a thought I bet when billy see's this he'll have to have one to go with his 454 casull what ever it's called. LOL...A.H

Nathan123 · 02-18-2008, 04:55 PM

WOW it makes the monster .460 Weatherby look tiny.

samuel · 02-18-2008, 05:47 PM

Anything over .50cal is illegal in the U.S. so I will use that for an excuse not to fire it. sam.

Looked like one of those African elephant loads.

mym1a · 02-18-2008, 05:56 PM

I never could afford to own a realy large gun but the government let us shoot them every now and then!

WHAT! I have never seen the federal law in print. I may be wrong, but I got to call BS on that.

You are wrong and you can call BS on anything you please but when you look it up I expect an apoligy.You can find it at BATFE site,nra/ila site,wikipedia.The only way you can excede .50cal is special permits.I dont believe that includes any kind of hunting.I think it would have been so much simpler for you to look it up before you started calling me names.But that wasnt the object of it was it,you just wanted to run someone down. sam.
