Careful, it has a little recoil

Check out the directory listing.. Tons of files.. The first ones starting with A are all dudes firing the same gun. It's gotta be somewhere in there.

rallykid is correct. I have seen this video before. It is posted on the Accurate Reloading forums. They can be found at www.accuratereloading.com. The gentlemen who operate the site are from the United Arab Emirates, and they have way too much $$$$! They are some of the most diverse firearms owners/sportsmen I have ever seen.

The rifle is a .577 Tyrranosaur. It is a proprietary cartridge developed by the A-Square Corporation some years ago with the sole purpose of being the most powerful shoulder-fired rifle round in existence. The rifle they are firing is one of A-Square's own designs, and is known as the "Hannibal" model rifle. To give everyone some idea of what is happening here, the rifle he is firing weighs in at a staggering 15lbs! In this case, the only reason the rifle is so heavy is to reduce the recoil (nice try, though!). The combination of that rifle firing that round produces somewhere around 120 lb ft of recoil energy (that's about the equivalent of giving Lenox Lewis a free punch to your shoulder - ooommmpphh!). To put things in perspective, the average .30-06 rifle weighs about half as much, and doles out only around 30 lb ft of recoil energy! There have been sporadic reports of people mounting the rifle incorrectly, and breaking their collarbones when they fire. The cartridge is designed as a "last resort" stopping rifle in African dangerous game hunting. Imagine you are about to be gored horribly by a pissed off Cape Buffalo or an elephant - wouldn't you want the professional hunter to have biggest, baddest gun to back you up? Thought so.
