You'll have to get ahold of the guy that started this thread:

Not sure if he actually has any drawn plans of if he just "winged" it.
He uses .50 BMG cases that he saws off to 3" and reforms them hot in
some fashion. It looks like a pretty fun.....um...cannon. Definitely
will stop the body armored "revenuers" from confiscating the backwoods
still.

At that speed and with that bullet weight and composition..the round
isnt likely to penetrate body armor of any level above Level 2.

However.....it will fold the wearer around that slug like bowling ball
against a hanging carpet.

A true.."thats gotta hurt!" moment indeedy!

Prints!!! Prints!!! Yabuddy!!




One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
