Wouldn't that constitute a good use for the gun?

"Oh, you think the cartridge is big? GET A LOAD OF THIS!"

Have a bandalier or two of those suckers, and the gun itself (loaded or not), I would "feel safe" walking throuh the bad parts of Houston at night.

I'd walk the streets of Baghdad with that thing.

At 80-100 pounds just for the rifle and half a pound for each round I don't know how far anyone will be walking with that thing.

We took a 23mm gun from some Bosnians one time and I had to haul it from the Hummer to the TOC which wasn't far. That was bad enough. I'd rather be able to carry more ammo than a big gun.

Even better idea, get one of those lumber carts from Home Depot mount ttwo of em on it with a couple hundred rounds of ammo underneith, add a standing patfourm behind it with turret mounts. Yes its all coming together now all I need is the $20,000 or so it would take.

No matter what you use, you would have to seriously reinforce the frame.

Hunting small game at close range?

In the bed of the pickup with a dark tinted camper shell to conceal it and a remote controlled lid. In the cab, a red button marked "for emergency use only". Great for ensuring you won't be tailgated and the added boost could cut my commute time to work in half. I always wanted a bat-truck

Over 8 ounces on the bullet weight ....... wow

That's really a WOW,,,
