Not a gun guy I feel like this would really good for blowing your own arm off.
I feel like your arm would probably hurt less than how hard the kickback shoots the gun unit itself into your face
It looks like a flare gun that a larger caliber rifle round happens to fit inside. I could be wrong about that but I really don’t think it’s meant to fire that round.
This would make Kentucky Ballistic’s neck itch.
Those guys seem fun/not fun simultaneously.
I wanted that car though.
They seem to be more focused on the science behind firearms, and getting cool shots, than the political side of firearms ownership.
Is this real? I imagine that would have worse recoil than a shotgun shell and I think they only do 410 shells in a handgun. Is there someone out there capable of firing this?
Once, absolutely. Twice? You (probably) had 2 arms.
With a good weaver stance, proper lean, fingers over fingers grip, and firm isotension, who am I kidding this would suck ass.
From someone who has fired a .45-70 derringer, you’re absolutely correct. At a certain point, your wrist is getting torqued whether you like it or not.
Broken hand bones levels of suck if you managed to hang onto it.
It’s a Rossi Riot, single shot 12 gauge pistol. It’s technically possible to fire .50 cal cartridges in a 12 gauge but it could wreck the gun.
Actually, the gun is completely safe. Many people have tested and confirmed this.
12 gauge is actually like .54 caliber so most of the expanding gas passes around the projectile without building pressure. The projectile leaves the barrel way slower than normal, but still fast enough to be lethal, and not very accurately.
It’s not the barrel. The case basically explodes in the chamber. Shotgun chambers aren’t built for that, and the extractor might not get the case out.
The case basically explodes in the chamber.
Yeah, that’s how firearms work.
When the gun and the cartridge match, the diameter of the projectile is slightly larger than the barrel bore. For example, a .357 magnum cartridge is .357 inches, stuffed into what’s ostensibly a .35 caliber gun. Gunpowder isn’t an explosive, it actually burns very slowly. It’s this very small size difference that allows pressure to build and create the chamber pressures advertised on the ammo box.
Of course a shotgun receiver can’t withstand the same pressure as a .50 BMG receiver, but that’s not what I said. I said a .50 BMG cartridge won’t create enough pressure in a 12 gauge receiver to damage it.
But, by all means, don’t take my word for it. There are plenty of videos of other people doing it and explaining it. Watch one of those instead.
Extraction and cycling are a whole other story, I’m not referring to that. 12 gauge shells are rimmed, .50 BMG is rimless, of course it probably won’t cycle in most shotguns.
Oh wow, thank you for explaining how guns work. You’re so smart!
It’s weird that my guns never destroy the brass. Does that mean they don’t work?
And I guess C4 isn’t an explosive either, because it burns slowly?
And I never said anything about the receiver. The chamber is a different part. And the cartridge will absolutely build up pressure before the bullet has time to leave.
Is your firearm knowledge just based on YouTube?
Maybe not the same maker or model, but definitely real.
EWWW!
Kentucky Ballistics is gonna be all over it.
It’s kinda hard to tell from this picture, but it looks like some kind of .308 or maybe .30-06 cartridge.
Single-shot handguns that fire large rifle rounds certainly exist and fire much larger rounds than that. Kentucky Ballistics on YouTube has many videos showing his collection of them. The video where Eddie Hall fires them all is a good vid where he shows many of them off.
If that’s a .308 cartridge, the gun would be too small to hold.
You’re just guessing on this stuff, aren’t you?
Does the tip of the bullet protrude from the barrel?
Yes. It doubles as a spicy bayonet!
I am seriously skeptical that that is a real gun that could fire without exploding, let alone you being able to hang on to it if it didn’t. you’re certainly not getting more than a couple shots max out of that before it and your hand is a mangled mess.

Not arguing about the mangled mess, but the concept at least is a real item
Comparing .45-70 to .50 BMG is like comparing .22lr to .223 Remington.
But this is a 12 gauge pistol with a .50 cal in it.
Your hand might take a beating, but the gun would be fine. Generally speaking, assuming there are no microfractures from manufacturing defects, if the steel and the design can withstand one shot, it can withstand tens of thousands. Assuming, of course, you perform the required PMCS and don’t fire so quickly as to overheat the steel.
Is that a flare gun with a machine gun round in it?
It’s a single shot shotgun with a machine gun round in it. Will fire flares too, so technically, yes?
Makes me think of the Ancient Arrows from Breath of the Wild that just remove the target from existence.
Isn’t that the Requiem from Resident Evil 9?
I’ve often struggled to determine the use case for these kinds of guns. If you’re hunting, surely a long gun in the same cartridge would be a better choice. If only for emergency defense against large animals while hiking, surely a revolver with a slightly smaller cartridge would be worth having five shots instead of one before having to reload, right?
Besides being a cool conversation piece or range toy, I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do with something like this.
I think the only advantage these big bore single shot pistols have is that they’re relatively cheap compared to a revolver.
Not a situation I’d cheap out on but I could see someone doing it.
I just looked up the Rossi Brawler and it’s only $335, putting it around half the price as your cheapest .44 mag. I didn’t know they were that cheap, but it makes sense given the simple design. You can get it chambered in .300 blackout and it has a threaded barrel, so that’s pretty cool.
That’s still only a little bit cheaper than an AR-15, which is going to be more effective at just about everything, so it’s probably still not something I would go for, but I think I’m seeing the appeal now. If you just gotta be able to put 5.56, .45 colt, or whatever down range, and that’s all you can afford, it sure beats nothing.
Vaporize? Aerated.
Eargesplitten loudenboomer, seen here with ergonomic grip.
Also his hand.
Might as well just attach an m67 to the end of a handgun assembly
Reminds me of the hunting pistol Lance Henrikson uses in Hard Target.
Good lord, I havent thought about that movie in forever.
