I was hoping this would come out as a semi-automatic with the option to go full but, I doubt I could hold it on the target.

At some point someone will be able to truthfully say, "The recoil from my rifle will do more damage than the target end of that pitiful excuse for a purse gun."

Now WHAT the hell would ya do with that thing outside the range?...Hunt a T-Rex ???
One should not announce one's intentions if those intentions could be construed in some what of a gray area of the law. Not that I'd do anything like that but, it's be nice to have it in the gun case, just in case. Castle laws do allow taking the target out once it's on yer neighbor's property don't they?

Type Rifle Place of origin United States Production history Designer J. D. Jones Manufacturer SSK Industries Specifications Parent case 20 x 102 mm Vulcan Bullet diameter 0.950 in (24.13 mm) Case length 4 in (101.6 mm) Ballistic performance Bullet weight/type Velocity Energy 3,600 gr (230 g) 2,200 ft/s (670 m/s) 38,685 ft·lbf (52,450 J) The .950 JDJ is a large caliber rifle cartridge developed by J. D. Jones of SSK Industries. Jones is also the noted developer of many other well-known cartridges, such as the Whisper family. Contents 1 Cartridge 2 Rifles 3 Ballistics 4 See also 5 Notes 6 External links Cartridge
The .950 JDJ is the world's largest, and most powerful caliber rifle cartridge.[citation needed] Loaded .950 JDJ cartridges are approximately the length of an empty .50 BMG casing (i.e., 4"), and are based on a 20x102mm case shortened and necked up to accept the .950" bullet.[1] Projectiles are custom-made and most commonly weigh 3,600 grains (230 g) which is 8.2 ounces or over half a pound.[2] Rifles
As its name implies, rifles chambered for the cartridge have a bore diameter of 0.950", which would normally classify them as Destructive Devices under the 1968 (1934) National Firearms Act. However, SSK sought and received a "Sporting Use Exception" to de-regulate the rifles, meaning they can be purchased like any other Title I rifle by a person over age 18 with no felonious criminal record.[citation needed] The rifles themselves, of which only a handful have been made, use McMillan stocks and extraordinarily thick Krieger barrels bearing an 18 lb (8.2 kg) muzzle brake. Overall, depending on options, the rifles weigh from 80 to 110 pounds (36 to 50 kg) and are therefore only useful for shooting from a bench rest or heavy bipod.[3] Despite the weight, recoil is significant, and shooters must be sure to choose components (i.e., scopes and bipods) that can handle the abuse. The sheer size and weight of these weapons makes them impractical for hunting use, as they cannot be carried afield. Thus, they are largely "range queens"—rifles that are brought to the range for a fun time, but not usually used for hunting or other "more practical" uses. Additionally, the cost of owning and operating such a firearm is beyond most shooters; the rifles cost ~US$8,000, loaded cartridges are $40 each, and the individual lathe-turned bronze bullets are $10 apiece.[4] Ballistics
The cartridge propels its 3,600 gr (230 g) bullet at approximately 2,200 ft/s (670 m/s). This yields a muzzle energy of 38,685 ft·lbf (52,450 J)[1] and a momentum of 154.1 Newton-seconds. This kinetic energy would allow the .950 JDJ to pass through several body-armored humans. It is comparable to the original tank rounds of World War I in terms of ballistic energy. By comparison, the 5.56x45 cartridge, used in the M16 rifle, produces between 1,200–1,300 ft·lbf (1,600–1,800 J), while the .308 Winchester, a favorite for hunters and medium-range police/military sniping, produces between 2,000–3,000 ft·lbf (2,700–4,100 J) depending on the load used. The ballistics of the .950 JDJ is more similar to that of the 20mm autocannon round, which delivers approximately 39,500 ft·lbf (53,600 J). The muzzle energy of the .950 JDJ is comparable to the kinetic energy of a 2,800 lb (1,300 kg) automobile traveling at 20 mph (32 km/h). In a 110 lb (50 kg) rifle, this will develop well over 200 ft·lbf (270 J) of free recoil energy if an efficient muzzle brake is not used. This is far beyond the shoulder-firing capacity of nearly all humans, even without considering the difficulty of shouldering such a heavy rifle. Shooting is usually heavy "lead sled" or similar shooting rest, and the rifle is not held to the shoulder because of the severe recoil and possible injury. The rifle scope has significant eye relief to avoid injuring the ocular orbit. See also

Burt? Who's Burt? Or, am asking a question I really don't want to know the answer to?
OK, I'll bite, who's Burt?

12 gauge 3 inch mag shells produce over 60 foot pounds, so if you want to see what half the recoil is like. Get a double barrel 12 gauge and fire both barrels at the same time with 3 inch mag shells.

I bought an over/under to skeet shoot and the first time I pulled the trigger it as a painfull experiance cause both barrels fired at once. Not unberable mind you but double that I would have to say would plain out hurt! LOL

Actually, I wasn't, no idea who Burt is/was. They won't let me out much, or often. But, when I do get out, I have some fun. At least until they catch up with me. Then we start all over again.
