The story on the gun
The Pistol (revolver), every home owner needs-- "60 Caliber" !!!???
This video is basically a "show and tell" custom built 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 gunmaker. He 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) 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. It was really built as an exhibition piece! This cartridge is known for breaking "Collarbones, Arms, and Shoulders", of the shooter! Think about this, in the "Gun World", they use what is termed as, "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 ".4"; A ".270", is rated at a ".8", etc. The ".600 Nitro Express" is rated at a "9.4" !!! "9.4" times more punishing power than a "30-06". |
