What is this cannon of a rifle?

[Triang]

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me what this is?



Found it doing an image search for something else on Google, but it goes to a YouTube page about something else

I don't know what it is, but I wan't one

[Norton]

The .950 JDJ rifle.

Honestly I don't think you do want one. YouTube the guys shooting this and see the recoil...

Not a comfortable rifle to say the least

[Seconds]

I know the video.

From memory I think the rifle weighs 25kg, but they only made 3 like that because it was too light for anyone to shoot well.

Had to take the rifle up to 50kg to make recoil manageable

[Zilla]

Found the video,

They're talking about the recoil and the amount is apparently the same as firing ten 30-06 at a time

Detached retina anyone ?

[Aster]

Retina, shoulders, spine, shoes...

[Pom]

Retina, shoulders, spine, shoes...

It would be worth doing once just so you could say you were literally blown out of your shoes by your rifle.

Fire yourself backwards off the roof, into the pool.

1 place guaranteed.

20mm cannon! really.

[nords]

Yeah, 20mm.

Get yourself one of these instead

[Triang]

Is it just me? Or does the guy in 20mm picture look slightly worried about shooting it

[Atter]

He wouldn't be the only one. I reckon I'd be pretty apprehensive about taking that first shot

[Dylan.m]

Yeah, 20mm.

Pretty sure that actually a w2 french anti tank rifle. there pretty fun to shot you actually slide backwards when you shoot it that why it comes with a set of sleds instead of the bypod.

Probubly the best anti tank rifle was the Russien 14.5 PTRS i think it was called, i think it was used all through out the war for both sides for knocking out Armoured cars, which really when you think about it was the most dangerous to the infantry because a lot of them where armed with 20mm rappid fire cannons with HE shells, most dangerous off all was the Kblitz which was probably classified as more a light tank which had two and was desghined solly for urban warfare

[paps]

That would be some terrifying s**t I reckon, laying in wait with a rifle for some tank to come come and find you so you can have a shot at it

[Dylan.m]

yeah it was scary but back then tanks or armored cars really did not have very good viability so chances are you be able to get the first shot off before they spotted you. back then AT weapons really where suited for different perpouses. anti tank rockets kinda sucked compered to what we got now you only really was effective at really short range because they where pretty inaccurate well at least the bazooka was probubly all of them where,

If the rocket where having trouble hitting panzer 4 i can imagion how much trouble they have hitting smaller armoured cars that where a quorter of the size. that where the AT rifles cam into there own.

[Skadoo]

How about Saving Private Ryan style, fill a sock with C4, dip it in tar then go stick it on the tank yourself

Not for me

[headspace]

MY Dad was in Tobruk (Genuine Rat) and he was an anti tank gunner. He told me about these sticky bombs they had. The idea was that you would run up along side the tank in their blind spot and stick the bomb to one of the tracks. It would blow the track off, then you'd drop a grenade down the hatch. That's hands on stuff. By the way, what is that hanging out of the muzzle of the thing on skids.

Hands 'off' stuff I reckon.

How many blokes you reckon lost a limb doing that crazy s**t

[Grrzrr]

Huh? The what?
