RE: Talk about a big Hand Gun
Talk about a hand cannon.
I can't read German? so I can only guss 6 -7 lb. ?
Is it drilled & taped for a scope ? could not see.
You would need paper work from the BATF I think (over 50 cal.)
Talk about ammo cost per shot $ 4.00 per shot
5 shot ? I checked about 2 lb per round
I can only hope you hire a gun bearer for your hunting with it.
I want to shoot it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the specs chart, that darn thing weights 6.5Kg, which is 14.3lbs!!! I wouldn't carry a rifle that weighed that much! And I thought the .500S&W Mag was overkill. Thanks, but I'll pass.
According to what I could decipher from the article, it shoots a 900 GRAIN bullet at 462m/s ot about 1430fps. That's on the order of 78 ft-lbs of free recoil energy! All I can say it OUCH!
Compare that to the .454 Casull. With a 300 grain bullet at a fairly modest 1650fps and a 3.5lb Super Redhawk you'll experience the pleasure of roughly 38 ft-lbs of free recoil, and while not unbearable, it isn't a walk in the park either.
I would like to shoot one shot just to see what its like. Maybe thats what Yosemite Sam carried around, and that's why he was so short. After all if you had two of them one on each side it would weigh around 40 pounds with a holster, 20 rounds of ammo and two pistols! lol

A 600 NE out of a hand gun. Hmmmmmm. Thanks but I like my wrists just the way they are thank you.
A 900 grain bullet at about 1400 - 1800 fps give or take and depending on how it was loaded. That's about 6000 - 6700 foot pounds of KE and somewhere between 80 & 90 pounds of recoil energy and all you are holding onto it with is your hands.
NO THANK YOU!!!!

i think that one will be a a good starter for me when i apply for my pistol permit in may. I will practice by strapping 9) 30/30s together and pulling the triggers at once.
