DIY Hand Cannon

[jdandy]

by Gizmodo




This DIY rifle built by Youtuber JTCustomKnives uses a .700 lead cast bullet fitted inside a modified .50 BMG brass case. The rounds are so large, you can only craft six per pound of lead. The the 1132 grain of lead rockets out of the barrel at a stupendous 2300 fps and with enough force to penetrate a quarter inch of steel plating. That's roughly the equivalent of the McMillan Tac-50 .50 BMG sniper rifle—the one used to record the longest kill in history at over 2300 yards. It is a single-shot rifle, using a shell holder action—opposed to a bolt-action—that has to be extracted after each firing so don't miss.

Hey Dan, I started shooting 12 gauge shotguns at the age of 12 on a regular basis as well as I played rugby from 5 up to 21 yrs. I can relate to that & some. Looks like fun

We all know what WTF stands for

I'm sure BATF will be thrilled with a DIY/self made, non licensed firearm manufacturing, etc... 700 rifle....


There was a stink over a simple potato/"spud" cannon before and they are now illegal in certain areas....
