Thread: .950 JDJ ~ when overkill just doesnt quite come close enough

im not sure how many of you have seen this one, but check this out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.950_JDJ



here's an image with the bullet in it.

from left to right: 950 Bullet, 950 empty case, a loaded .950 round, 50 BMG round, 577 Nitro for the Ruger #1 conversion, 700 JDJ.

pretty neat but practcially useless -rifles weigh 80-100 lbs, muzzle energy 36000 lb ft, recoil like a pissed off Jackass, classified as a destructive device by ATF must be registered, custom shells about $40 a piece. think my 50 BMG is plenty for my needs. would look cool at the range if they would even let you shoot it

well yeah but that wasnt the point.
i mean come on, that .50 looks like 30-06 round compared to the .950!!

and actually, i think, in most states you have to register a .50 BMG anyway. simply because it isnt a normal hunting caliber.

well yeah that is the point, it's too big to be practical, no human could shoulder fire a 110 lb gun that has a free recoil energy over 200lb ft. you may do it once.

And no you don't have to do anything extra from an ATF standpoint for 50 BMG rifles that you would with any other title I rifle. I own one. Do you live in California by chance?

ATF defines anything over 50 cal as a destructive device and requires registration and a $200 tax stamp, except shotguns and antique calibers like 600 and 700 Nitro express and stuff built before 1898. muzzle loaders don't count either.

The only error I made is that SSK Ind. did obtain an exemption ,a rare one, for this cannon. alledged price is $8000 for gun , $40 per round. Are you going to get one?
as far as the comparison goes , its all relative, 40mm makes the 950 look like a 22 short whats the point?

ell yeah but untill i see a 40mm shoulder fire rifle, this one get the bad ass award of the month.

im insulted you even asked me that question, with the knowlage of weaponry i have.

well yeah that is the point, it's too big to be practical

i believe i said, ....

....but check this out

with a title of

950 JDJ ~ when overkill just doesnt quite come close enough

nothing i said implies that this is a practical gun. Of courses it's not, but it's fucking BIG.....

sheesh...

The .700 Nitro express is NOT an antique Caliber.. it was developed in 1989
