Recoil Fun

People trying to shoot the .577 T-Rex Rifle.

From the Wikipedia page on the .577 T-Rex round:

"The .577 contains a .585 inch diameter 750-grain (49 g) Monolithic Solid Projectile which when fired moves at 2,460 ft/s (750 m/s) producing 10,180 foot-pounds force (13,800 J) of energy. For comparison the .223 Remington/Nato 5.56mm round used in weapons such as the M16 rifle, when using a 77-grain (5.0 g) projectile, moves at 2,750 ft/s (840 m/s) producing 1,293 foot-pounds force (1,753 J)."

How does one practically use this gun?

I can't tell you how many times that have I seen sections of this clip being used to make fun of Muslims. It's nice to see the full thing for a change. Great Sift jimnms!

You use it to stop a large charging animal when it appears your life is in danger. This does not include mothers-in-law

"IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!"

you know... when I've shot guns in the past, I actually liked to be able to HIT the thing I was aiming at, not have the gun bound out of my hands. If you need something this big, shouldn't it have some kind of stand or mount or something? To keep it stable?

I'd be afraid that huge recoil could break your arm/shoulder, too...

The last guy handled it well, I bet that the others weren't expecting such a massive recoil.
