.95Cal Bolt rifle?

[Nozler]

I was just looking through SSK's website and read this:

Our biggest bolt gun fires a 3600 grain 95 caliber bullet from a highly modified 20 mm vulcan case. We also work on Strikers and other bolt action pistols and rifles

Anti-Aircraft Rifle?

Nahhh. Just some one-upsmanship on the .50 BMG crowd, I reckon.

My teeth fell out from the setback forces just reading that!

Where can I find one?

A bit of a balloon puncture. Any rifle over .50 is an NFA firearm. Not impossible to buy, of course, but a bit of paperwork and an OK from your jurisdiction's CLEO. I won't even mention the tax; to anyone who can afford that gun, $200 is pocket change.

um, are you sure? I thought it was only "military" cartridges over .50 caliber, like 14.5mm and 20mm. I thought that non military cartridges were still okay, you know, like big elephant guns, like .600 and .700 Nitro Express.

A 3600gr bullet?
Are you trying to give me nightmares or something?

Must have been created by a devious chiropractor wanting to boost business.

Sounds like one serious charge stopper to me. Put me down for one with express sights. I never know when I'll be charged by a rabid squirrel

With a 3600 grain bullet, you probably don't need the gun. You can just throw the bullet at whatever you want to kill.

 

[Lord Grey Boots]

Uh, thats a half-pound bullet. I think this round is the "vs car" round for that thread in the one of the handgun forums...

Here's a pic of the 950 JDJ round:

It's the one to the left of the .50 BMG round (the tallest one).

So where exactly is this SSK web site? A 3600 grain projectile would REALLY be fun.

Wow! Looks real impressive.
Could you tell me again just what it is that it is good for?

 

[Kenneth L. Walters]

Are you suggesting that you have to have a need in order to own a gun? Now there's a thought..... Glad I never use that logic. I'd be much richer but not happier.

Of course if you think that this is big there is a company out on the web somewhere that makes a mortar that fires 8 inch steel balls. Gun one one ton. That would REALLY be fun!

 

[CaesarI]

hmm.... That's one of those guns where your probably safer on the receiving end right?

BANG!!
"Oh GOD MY ARM!!!"
"Missed me"
