Sorry, I had just seen my new “performance review sheet” for the upcoming year, which has no less than 5 major and 17 sub-categories to review my performance for the upcoming year, each one a 3-paragraph essay of unreasonable and sometimes impossible goals, all so I get out of the “average performer” box they stick 91% of the company in each year to get only an inflation-rate COLA. So I was humour-impaired.
The 600 Nitro Express revolver is admittedly a “macho” weapon, but you know, I’d still like to fire it once.
The 700 Nitro Express rifle, on the other hand, has a single purpose: bring down the largest of game under any and all circumstances. The catch is that in order to ensure that you have the ability to do so, you have to spend up to $100 a shot to practice. It’s a safari rifle, nothing more and nothing less.
I fired a Desert Eagle at a range once, that was plenty enough kick for me.
The guy in the 700 video, unlike the guy in the 600 video, seemed well prepared for the recoil, and still struggled to keep the gun under control. I have doubts about the damn thing’s accuracy, and I’d be afraid if I tried to shoot at a charging cape buffalo that I’d get knocked on my ass and then trampled.
If you want to see the ultimate in ridiculously overpowered personal weaponry, check out Nock’s Volley Gun. This late 18th century longarm had 7 fucking barrels, and apparently had the unfortunate tendency of breaking the wielder’s shoulder when fired.
I know this isn’t a gun control thread, 'cuz the OP said so, but would it be Constitutional to deny stupid people guns? I mean it’s not like they are strict on SAT scores for joining the cops* or the military.
