With a good weaver stance, proper lean, fingers over fingers grip, and firm isotension, who am I i kidding this would suck ass.

Is this real? I imagine that would have worse recoil than a shotgun shell and I think they only do 410 shells in a handgun. Is there someone out there capable of firing this?

From someone who has fired a .45-70 derringer, youâre absolutely correct. At a certain point, your wrist is getting torqued whether you like it or not.

A 45 70 derringer?
I mean⌠that is basically pretty close to what this appears to beâŚ
But why? Who dared you to do that? Theyâre an asshole!

Maybe not the same maker or model, but definitely real.

EWWW!

Itâs a Rossi Riot, single shot 12 gauge pistol. Itâs technically possible to fire .50 cal cartridges in a 12 gauge but it could wreck the gun.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨2⊠â¨hours⊠ago
If this is a smooth bore barrel⌠then youâre loosing a fucking 50 cal that is not spin stabilized.
Oh god what a bad idea.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨hours⊠ago
Wouldnât matter if it was rifled. The bullet isnât going to touch the barrel.
Like Dookieman said, the barrel is much larger than the bullet (actually ~0.7" vs 0.5"), so all the gasses go around the bullet. Still dangerous, but Iâd be more worried about firing it than getting shot at with it.
Dookieman12@piefed.social â¨7⊠â¨hours⊠ago
Actually, the gun is completely safe. Many people have tested and confirmed this.
12 gauge is actually like .54 caliber so most of the expanding gas passes around the projectile without building pressure. The projectile leaves the barrel way slower than normal, but still fast enough to be lethal, and not very accurately.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world â¨7⊠â¨hours⊠ago
Itâs not the barrel. The case basically explodes in the chamber. Shotgun chambers arenât built for that, and the extractor might not get the case out.
Dookieman12@piefed.social â¨48⊠â¨minutes⊠ago
The case basically explodes in the chamber.
Yeah, thatâs how firearms work.
When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into whatâs ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isnât an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. Itâs this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.
Of course a shotgun receiver canât withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but thatâs not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge wonât create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.
But, by all means, donât take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.

Kentucky Ballistics is gonna be all over it.
Dookieman12@piefed.social â¨7⊠â¨hours⊠ago
Itâs kinda hard to tell from this picture, but it looks like some kind of .308 or maybe .30-06 cartridge.
Single-shot handguns that fire large rifle rounds certainly exist and fire much larger rounds than that. Kentucky Ballistics on YouTube has many videos showing his collection of them. The video where Eddie Hall fires them all is a good vid where he shows many of them off.
too_high_for_this@lemmy.world â¨26⊠â¨minutes⊠ago
If thatâs a .308 cartridge, the gun would be too small to hold.
Youâre just guessing on this stuff, arenât you?

Once, absolutely. Twice? You (probably) had 2 arms.
