This would make Kentucky Ballisticās neck itch.

Does the tip of the bullet protrude from the barrel?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world āØ5ā© āØhoursā© ago
Yes. It doubles as a spicy bayonet!

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?
Neondragon25@piefed.social āØ6ā© āØhoursā© ago
Once, absolutely. Twice? You (probably) had 2 arms.
disorderly@lemmy.world āØ5ā© āØhoursā© ago
With a good weaver stance, proper lean, fingers over fingers grip, and firm isotension, who am I i kidding this would suck ass.

From someone who has fired a .45-70 derringer, youāre absolutely correct. At a certain point, your wrist is getting torqued whether you like it or not.
Skanky@lemmy.world āØ5ā© āØhoursā© ago
Maybe not the same maker or model, but definitely real.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world āØ3ā© āØhoursā© ago
EWWW!

Itās 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 āØ5ā© āØhoursā© ago
Itās a Rossi Riot, single shot 12 gauge pistol. Itās technically possible to fire .50 cal cartridges in a 12 gauge but it could wreck the gun.
Dookieman12@piefed.social āØ4ā© āØhoursā© 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.

Kentucky Ballistics is gonna be all over it.

⦠That⦠looks like a break action āpistolā that is firing 50 BMG.
If you fired one handed, or even two handed, while not being significantly yolked upā¦
This thing is flying out of your hand(s), probably into your face.
Or, just exploding.
ProbablyUnwise@anarchist.nexus āØ2ā© āØhoursā© ago
I am seriously skeptical that that is a real gun that could fire without exploding, let alone you being able to hang on to it if it didnāt. youāre certainly not getting more than a couple shots max out of that before it and your hand is a mangled mess.

Not arguing about the mangled mess, but the concept at least is a real item

Makes me think of the Ancient Arrows from Breath of the Wild that just remove the target from existence.
Dookieman12@piefed.social āØ4ā© āØhoursā© ago
Iāve often struggled to determine the use case for these kinds of guns. If youāre hunting, surely a long gun in the same cartridge would be a better choice. If only for emergency defense against large animals while hiking, surely a revolver with a slightly smaller cartridge would be worth having five shots instead of one before having to reload, right?
Besides being a cool conversation piece or range toy, Iām not really sure what Iām supposed to do with something like this.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com āØ3ā© āØhoursā© ago
Quite literally, such a weapon only exists for you to flex with, that you can fire it and remain in control of the weapon, maybe even hit the intended target as well!
Its⦠this thing only exists because of dares.
There are more practical weapons for every use case that might even possibly qualify as uses this thing could have.
⦠I guess unless you are an actual WH40K spacemarine.
Yeah, revolvers are the classic ādeep in the woods - wildlife defense handgunā⦠but 10mm and 5.7x28 semi autos are gaining popularity there.
A long gun in the same caliber as this would be an anti-materiel rifle⦠as in, designed to disable jeeps, power transformers, parked helicopters.
You are not going to have a fun time hauling a 30 lb war crime machine with you, into the woods.

I think the only advantage these big bore single shot pistols have is that theyāre relatively cheap compared to a revolver.
Not a situation Iād cheap out on but I could see someone doing it.
ThePJN@sopuli.xyz āØ2ā© āØhoursā© ago
Reminds me of the hunting pistol Lance Henrikson uses in Hard Target.
CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world āØ4ā© āØhoursā© ago
Might as well just attach an m67 to the end of a handgun assembly

Is glock gonna release a carbine conversion kit with an underbarrel shot gun?
Just in case I need to do some door breaching, while Iām standing my ground?

Isnāt that the Requiem from Resident Evil 9?

Is that a flare gun with a machine gun round in it?
