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... 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.

Now think about this...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 one simple purpose...to knock an elephant flat on his butt. IMO, it was really built as an exhibition piece for guys "compensating"...this cartridge! is known for breaking collarbones, arms, shoulders...of the shooter!

Think about this, 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 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

Hardcore round for hardcore game. Saw a form once, for Norwegian hunters to fill out after shooting moose. You were supposed to fill out the size of the animal, whether it was male or female, date, time, etc. Then you were supposed to cross off what calibre you used from a list. It started normally, with .308 Winchester, 7mm Remington Magnum, etc. Then the list continued onto larger calibres, like .458 Winchester Magnum. And then it CONTINUED from there! All the way down to .577 Nitro Express, .600 Nitro Express and even the .700 Nitro Express.

I mean, who in their right minds would go moose hunting with a bloody .700 NE?

Can the heavy AT class have that as their pistol? You know, just in case a tank survives the missiles.
