OMG That's A BFR - .950 Caliber Rifle

This little item was sent to me by faithful reader, unofficial Hardcore Outdoor spell checker and all around good guy Terry Howell.  The Youtube video is pretty self-explanatory but I would like to emphasize two points.  At just 50lbs, this is the lightweight version and the .950 caliber bullet it fires weighs 2400+ grains.  Good lord. 

Supposedly the largest centerfire "rifle" ever made, I can only imagine that it was created as a novelty item or perhaps to hunt Godzillas in Japan I don't know.  Crazy.  You could not pay me enough money to shoot this thing, I hurt enough already.

Anyway enjoy and thanks Terry. 

Thanks.
