I thought you'd enjoy this...
You may have to watch Recoil twice. 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 = 60 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 fat guy that shot it (in the video) had been
bugging the builder to let him shoot it. Only until fairly recently
(early-mid '80's IIRC) the 600 Nitro Express was hands down the biggest,
nastiest, hardest hitting, and heaviest recoiling weapon you could buy. It
was designed for on simple purpose...to knock an elephant flat on his ass.
This cartridge is known for breaking collarbones, arms, or shoulders of the
shooter!
In the gun world they use what is termed as a "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 .4, a .270 is like a .8, etc. The 600 Nitro Express is rated at a
9.4. That's 9.4 times more punishing power than a 30-06.
Now watch the video...
