The largest caliber rifle ever produced. .905 caliber

radxsays...

Bloody hell, .905 is what, 23mm? Better put some shock absorbing butt plate on that sucker or it'll split you in half.

Kinda reminds me of that old Finnish AT rifle, the Lahti.

I was telling a coworker today that here in Canada we can own A .50 Cal BMG for about $10,000. We don't need to register it at all with anyone, only need a basic non restricted lic. to own. and can shoot it wherever legal shooting is allowed in the countryside.

Same time, a gun that shoots .22 long rifle, one of the (if not the) smallest cal. used, usually for target shooting or squirls, small bullet. If the .22 LOOKS like...yes LOOKS like an AK47 it's Prohibeted to own. If it LOOKS like an AR15 .223 (smallish bullet still) it's treated like a handgun, special lic. register it only the range not in country, no hunting with it etc.

so ya I can own a gun that'd shoot through an engine block and not have anyone know about it but can't have a .22lr tin can plinker if it LOOKS like a scary AK.....serious logic fail.

I have never seen a gun as big as this one, wow.

Looking at it strictly from a caliber standpoint I would have to agree that it's a bit of a head scratcher, a .22 caliber Kalashnikov, oooh scary. But the restriction does make perfect sense from a size perspective as .50 cal BMG's, while scary looking, are not all that popular with the criminal element as lugging that monster round is bound to draw the wrong kind of attention.

Just as a historical note, the World War 2 German Stuka dive-bomber used 20mm rounds to take out Soviet tanks.

That's a shitload of kinetic energy.

I'm quite fond of the 37mm gunpods used by Rudel and others in the G model.

They seem to be wrong on all counts. 2 Bore is bigger (1.326 Caliber or 33.68mm); newer models are centerfire; and is fired from a rifle. The 2 bore bullet is 3500 grains, however it only has 17487 ft·lb of energy at 1500 ft/s.
