Forget the S&W Model 500. Screw getting a 50 BMG. 577 T-Rex? Wimpy.

Real men shoot a 20mm rifle.

Now, pardon me while I go clean up.

Hat Tip Tam, who probably won't appreciate the trackback with that title.

Nevertheless, it's a heck of a lot more tactful than I would have put it. Same meaning, though.

.... Holy crap.

Do I even want to know how you shoot that thing without permanently dislocating... everything? I have seen the clip of the T-Rex being shot.... that was funny enough, but this? Good lord.

As an aside, I assume this is not in America?

They're apparently in St. Petersburg, Fl. which happens to be where I work.

I'm going to see if I can simply get my picture taken with one. Then submit that to People of the Gun.

Back in the '60s, the purchase price of a surplus 20MM Lahti was less than the $200 NFA tax. It sat on the ground on sort of a sled and you would lay behind it to fire. Your shoulder would not take that awful a beating.

I'll wait 'til they chamber it in a handgun ....

Well, I sit corrected on the location, and the sled certainly would make shooting it a bit easier. Hate to know what a round of that costs these days, though...

$8 for a practice round, $15 for a tracer. And you have to buy in bulk, which I'm assuming around 100 rounds.

In other words, you should crap gold bullion if you want to own and shoot one.
