60 CAL.. PISTOL Please read before you watch!  Try to follow the gun. This  video is basically a 'show and tell' custom built on a Thompson Encore (fancy version of the Thompson Contender). The Caliber...600 Nitro Express.   That's right...an elephant gun round in a handgun. The story goes that the guy that built it is some kind of custom gun maker, and built this as an exhibition piece. He takes it to the range with him just to show it off, and the big guy that shot it (in the video) had been bugging the builder to let him shoot it.   

In the gun world they use what is termed' recoil index' to kind of give prospective buyers an idea of what a gun kicks like... A 30-06 gets a rating of a 1.0, which for many people is about the limit of what they can shoot multiple rounds thru comfortably. A 243 BR is rated at like a 0.4, a 270 was like a 0.8, etc. The 600 Nitro Express is rated at a 9.4........9.4 times more punishing power than a 30-06.   Now watch the video.......

I disagree.  Unshootable, but still awesome.

I might shoot it just once if I were wearing a motorcycle helmet.  Otherwise, that thing could kill you if it hit you just right.

This goes in the same category as Hold my beer and watch this, motorcyle helmet, that's funny

Motorcycle helmet is pretty good, I was thinking hockey mask. Maybe both would be a better idea. 8)

Cor-Bon's have a reputation for loading some loads that are a little hotter than others, but that takes the cake.

Good lord that thing needs to be on a caisson!
"This is my Frito Pie. There are many like it but this one is mine. My Frito Pie is my best friend. It is my life. I must consume it as I must consume air. Without me, my Frito Pie is useless. Without my Frito Pie I am useless. I must prepare my Frito Pie correctly. I must eat my Frito Pie faster than my neighbor, who is trying to steal my Frito Pie. I must neutralize him before he takes my Frito Pie from me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my Frito Pie and myself are defenders of all things D.S.T., we are the masters of Hogville and D.S.T.'s enemies, we are the saviors of all life. So be it, until all love Frito Pie and Hogville, then peace. Amen."
