      They seem to be more focused on the science behind firearms, and getting cool shots, than the political side of firearms ownership.

  Does the tip of the bullet protrude from the barrel?

  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?

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

    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, you’re absolutely correct. At a certain point, your wrist is getting torqued whether you like it or not.

    It’s a Rossi Riot, single shot 12 gauge pistol. It’s technically possible to fire .50 cal cartridges in a 12 gauge but it could wreck the gun.

    source

    • Dookieman12@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      If this is a smooth bore barrel… then you’re loosing a fucking 50 cal that is not spin stabilized.

      Oh god what a bad idea.

    It’s 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.

    source

    • too_high_for_this@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      If that’s a .308 cartridge, the gun would be too small to hold.

      You’re just guessing on this stuff, aren’t you?

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

  source

  • too_high_for_this@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It’s a single shot shotgun with a machine gun round in it. Will fire flares too, so technically, yes?

    source
  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Flare guns tend to be a lot more… disposable, basically?

    Like unironically the Pyro’s flare gun from TF2, made of plastic mostly.

    I dunno, maybe there are much studier built flare guns, but I’ve not heard of em… unless you’re just talking about a grenade launcher firing a flare round or something?

    source
• ProbablyUnwise@anarchist.nexus ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 didn’t. you’re certainly not getting more than a couple shots max out of that before it and your hand is a mangled mess.

  source

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Like I said elsewhere… I think that’s a 50 BMG round.

    … there are reasons why you almost never see break action / top break revolvers and pistols.

    Mainly, they do not tend to do well with high chamber pressure.

    A break action 50 BMG pistol?

    That’s an overly expensive hand grenade, with an reliable arming mechanksm, imo

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

    • too_high_for_this@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Comparing .45-70 to .50 BMG is like comparing .22lr to .223 Remington.

      But this is a 12 gauge pistol with a .50 cal in it.

    Your hand might take a beating, but the gun would be fine. Generally speaking, assuming there are no microfractures from manufacturing defects, if the steel and the design can withstand one shot, it can withstand tens of thousands. Assuming, of course, you perform the required PMCS and don’t fire so quickly as to overheat the steel.

  Makes me think of the Ancient Arrows from Breath of the Wild that just remove the target from existence.

  source
• Dookieman12@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I’ve often struggled to determine the use case for these kinds of guns. If you’re 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, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do with something like this.

  source

  • sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ‘deep in the woods - wildlife defense handgun’… 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 they’re relatively cheap compared to a revolver.

    Not a situation I’d cheap out on but I could see someone doing it.

    source

    • Dookieman12@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I just looked up the Rossi Brawler and it’s only $335, putting it around half the price as your cheapest .44 mag. I didn’t know they were that cheap, but it makes sense given the simple design. You can get it chambered in .300 blackout and it has a threaded barrel, so that’s pretty cool.

      That’s still only a little bit cheaper than an AR-15, which is going to be more effective at just about everything, so it’s probably still not something I would go for, but I think I’m seeing the appeal now. If you just gotta be able to put 5.56, .45 colt, or whatever down range, and that’s all you can afford, it sure beats nothing.

      source
• sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  … That… looks like a break action ‘pistol’ that is firing 50 BMG.

  If you fired one handed, or even two handed, while not being significantly yolked up…

  This thing is flying out of your hand(s), probably into your face.

  Or, just exploding.
