Default Heavy metal! 950 caliber rifle.

I figure if 150 pound, five foot six Brits can go through some two
thousand rounds with a Henry Martini in one long engagement (Roakes
Drift) and still function, it should not be all that difficult for "a
grown man" to handle a .940 caliber rifle. Might take some practice,
but hey, if they can handle a .75 caliber gun (aka a 12 gauge shotgun
firing slugs), what's another .19 caliber?


Better a sore shoulder than an assegai through the gut.

Heavy double rifles were said to kill at one end and maim at the other.
