It’s a .950 cal. rifle with a 2800 grain bullet (a grain is 1/1000th of an ounce) that travels at 2100 ft/sec.
I guess if you have stegosauruses tearing up your garden and molesting your dog, you’ll need one. Found at Ace of Spades.
Yup, you need one

Order one up for the HHC!!
“It’s an .88 magnum. It shoots through schools.”
Yeeeesh!! That thing would put a hole in something you could sling a cat through!
If a unit was to order that you know the E-9 would be toting that shit all over the motor pool.
Not at 110 pounds per, he wouldn’t.
OK, it’s $40 a bullet…that’s too pricey, unless it’s a nuclear round or something like that.
It’s things like this that make people think we don’t need Abrams tanks any more.
#5 True, he’d make a E-2 carry it for him. Crazy about the $40 per round though. I want to see that thing hit a carcass.
#2 – what an obscure Johnny Dangerously reference.
When you absolutely, positively, have to take down a T-Rex with one shot.
When you go that big, you gotta be compensating for something no?
#10, but the recoil would make you fall back and step on a butterfly. Not worth it.
Meh, wake me when someone makes a pistol version. THAT would be entertaining.
Likethis? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yzI0AIpUUA
I’m no gunsmith, nor have I ever played one on TV, but by my crude calculations that round would be a bigger caliber than a 20mm cannon. I believe an appropriate name for this rifle would be “Main Tank Gun.”
#14 Similar, but with blood and broken bones.
My shoulder aches just from watching.
#6 Poohbah: Oh, yeah. At $40 a pop, it needs to be a smart munitions, fire and forget, micro anti-matter, anti-everything-including-UFOs, with a sub-Megaton nominal yield. Hmmm. Wonder how this would work with squirrels?
#13 Redacted1775: I’d be more interested in the exoskeleton required to actually fire a pistol version …
Small correction – a grain is about 1/434 of an ounce, or 1/7000 of a pound. So this mother is almost a 25mm bullet (that’s about 25% thicker than a 12 gauge slug)- I am guessing at that speed you are talking somewhere around 50,000 foot pounds of muzzle energy. Like four .50 bullets hitting in the same spot – yeah, it’s gonna hurt. Not for long, though.
Squirrels will fear my .950 wrath!
#12…nice Ray Bradbury reference!
this is my BOOOM STICK!!!!
Just a correction. A grain is 1/7000 of a pound not an ounce. There are 7000 grains in a pound.
@15- I saw something on this awhile back, while it was under construction. The guy took 25mm cannon brass, and cut it down in length to make the shell, if I recall. Probably has a bit to do with how expensive the cartridges are.
