My buddy sent this to me a while back. Brings to mind that phrase "just cause you can doesn't mean you should".lol Cant even think of a logical use for this, pest control maybe?

Let's not bring logic into this discussion. I've had, and still have, more than a few guns which have no logical or practical purpose. :chuckle: They're usually my favorite ones!
It is funny how the 950 JDJ makes a 50 BMG seem practical by comparison. :tup:

Yeah, makes that 50 BMG look like a varmint gun.

as for "biggest," how does 3500 grain, 1.326" diameter sound? :yike: :bdid:

thinking a black powder rig, would not be as bad as a fast powder burner.
I'd guess you're right, but i don't want to shoot either! :yike: :chuckle:
I'd put money on the .950 having much sharper recoil than the 2-bore, but 1/2 pound projectile has to be a bad idea from a shoulder fired rifle! :tup:
