I hadn't seen that one before. We had talked in the gun shop about building something to fire that round but since they're so hard to get in this country figured it would be kind of pointless. I still doubt you'd be able to hit a man at 4 miles with it unless they were having a particularly unlucky day but it certainly would pack a punch.

We conducted a acoustic testing with one of these Anzio Ironworks 20mm rifles when I was at Yuma Proving Ground. Somewhere I have a picture of it and an M14 side by side. The M14 looks like a toy!

The rifle weighed 48 lbs but with no muzzle brake it definitely let you know you'd pulled a trigger......
