I had the same reaction... I am still LMAO!!!!
Oh and I stole it.

They used to use something like that in Africa.
They were known as Paradox Guns.
Didn't have that much energy. But a 12Ga firing a solid from a rifled barrel could wallop an elephant off its feet!
Very cool... I might need one of those ;-)

1 3/4 ounce @ 2500 FPS
12,000- 15,000 Ft/ Pounds
That's a lot more than a shotgun
Winchester Super X rifled 12 gauge, 2 3/4" slug from a smoothbore barrel will have around 2,800 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle
I have no idea what a shotgun does to an elephants brain.... I have never heard of a PH using a shotgun while hunting elephants

That and the fact that they are far and away much better looking is obvious.

I have an 8GA (courtesy Buffalowinter) and it is a cannon! I can't imagine what it would be like with an 8GA solid!

No thank you! That's got to hurt.
I remember that ad... I was in High School!
Also remember 'The Osterman Weekend" which made use of those.
I think that's also the same laser from The Terminator.... on the AMT Longslide.
Lasers were cutting edge then. So were M16A1's. Just before they went to the A2. IIRC, the USMC was the first to adopt the A2!

I hope they have these on Amazon! Great Christmas gift for the wife
A 500 nitro express makes my teeth hurt after two rounds, will kill anything and only generates 1/3 of that posted power.
The Wednesday morning after the 2016 election I got this text from one of the Brothers on the F.D.
Saturday night 2000 hrs. will be a celebration/Memorial showing of "13 Hours" at my house. Bring the adult Beveridge's and "Assault Weapon" of your choice . It was a good time and no one got hurt. Now in 2020 we have to remember that Joe Biden was part of that Benghazi crowd.

I vote for "Sinus Infection" and "Asthma Attack" just so I could take those to parties, etc.
We must be able to arrest women before they commit prostitution. By registering vaginas and knowing who has them we can do that…If they have vaginas, they are pretty likely to commit prostitution.
And a German MG-42 AA Tripod... nice bit of kit right there!
Needs a binary trigger!

Well, since you shoot literal cannons, you're probably qualified to answer this. Even using hard cast bullets, would a lead slug actually survive hitting something with that much energy? It doesn't do much good if it hits, penetrates 2 inches, and shatters before reaching vitals.An 1884 Holland & Holland 8g Paradox. The Last 35 Years. / Westley Richards

Edit: I mean the 12 gauge from hell bit. Not the 8 gauge.
The 'slugs' were not like the hollow soft rifle slugs we shoot today. They were .70 Cal (or bigger) solid round balls. Massive weight behind them. Even hitting a skull, they would simply shatter everything. They would go through hair, hide, bone and cause massive hydrostatic shock damage.
Remember, more elephants have been killed with .303's and AK's than all the fine double guns put together. The point of the Paradox or the .470 nitro was to stop the charge and allow a 'close kill' before getting trampled and gored. And it was a bit of pukka kit. If all you wanted to do was kill things, rapid fire 303's would take it down. Just not in a sporting manner, old chap!

Hey Tucker I found it. My wife will be so grateful that you gave me such a wonderful gift idea!
Planning on spending that weekend away, are you?!
She usually has a good sense of humor! If not then yeah, I'll be camping!
^^^That face says DAMN, what stinks^^^
I had to laugh at this... It shows how poor a job gun owners have done education the public about the origin of the jim crow laws
I am still laughing at this.... BSC wins the Internet for September!

A few years ago a state legislator from somewhere in the Midwest (I forget where) declared that if we just banned the sale of high-capacity magazines they would eventually be used up and the problem would go away.
Somebody pointed out that one could just load fresh bullets and re-use them, and she deleted her Twitter account.
Tastes like ass.
Too bad the clerk didn’t stop shooting after the guy went down. Those 3 extra rounds are going to cost him unfortunately.
So they thought they were like cap gun ring mags, you just threw them away when used? You can't make this stuff up!
I was not there... I did not hear audio
Dirt bag has a gun
Dirt bag still has the gun
Dirt bag still could be considered a threat....
When you get shot- your brain is overloaded by pain... bleeding causes a loss of blood pressure...
Just like in 1st aid class, lying flat on the ground brings blood back to the head... Was the threat over? Was the robber still moving?
Many people who get shot, drop to the ground, the brain deals with the pain and they get back in the fight
When you might be looking at LWOP for being a career criminal and robbing a store with a firearm... maybe the desire to make it out is great...

Bet he bled out on that one....
Imagine Tiny violin playing "My heart bleeds for you."

The perp did not drop his weapon and it was still not visible. He was still moving and could be trying to bring a weapon to bear. The clerk can enunciate that he was afraid for his life and did not know the status of the perp who was still moving and could be trying to attack.
He'll be fine.
If he had walked over and administered a coup-de-grace... he'd have been in trouble. But he shot until the threat was considered not a threat... by him.
Chalk one up for the good guy!
