I'd like to see you shoot that from your shoulder in any position

You win.

[Baldrick314]

Mounted: 50BMG

Keep em coming, can't wait to see some more interesting ones

Mounted?..... sounds a bit painful i shouldered a barry M82... damn heavy piece of iron, could only hold it up for a couple of seconds..

[on_one_wheel]

.308 is the biggest rifle I've shot

2 x 1 1/2 ounce slugs / both barrels at once wtih the 12 gauge is as big as I've gone with that, I generally only load one at a time in my stoger now, I don't want 2 of them going off at once again.

This one was on the side of a ship. No weight, no recoil and a lot of rounds going out. So much fun!

Steyr HS50 M1, DTA HTI, Barrett M95 & McMillan 50's.....not all at once though

There is an idea for your youtube vids Brett,

One on each shoulder with multiple angle footage, slow motion & microphone picking up all the concussion waves with guttural sounds.
Just Do It - Swoosh !

[valkyrie]

.308 rifle and a shotgun obviously. Most proud of shooting a 50ae desert eagle though

[Title_II]

.50 BMG for me. You guys have me beat.

Do target rounds out of 40mm grenade launchers count?

[KWhorenet]

If you have pics or video of it hunting ground hogs yes most certainly

[Title_II]

I don't personally have the real 40mm M203 (which requires registration in the US) but I have the 37mm M203 copy that I can shoot flares, smoke, CS, and bird bombs out of. The real 40mm ones I did not own.

[bluerob]

.500 Nitro Express years ago at the Belmont Range.

Targets were pictures of large game animals.

Did it once, said thank you, not for me.

50 Cal M180 Barrett Sniper Rifle, 470 Nitro Express, 460 Weatherby Magnum( 200 rounds) a 500 XVR Smith and Wesson Handgun.

[Chronos]

DIdn't get to shoot it but this one is pretty big

[KWhorenet]

is that the little 10 - 15 lb powder charge he's carrying ?

[North East]

.458 WIN MAG and I hated it...to much recoil. A .30-06 will do me.

[SendIt]

Whoever designed/sculpted that guy has obviously never carried a thing in their entire life.

Looks like he's trying to do his back in.

Where's Anthiny Quinn.....Peck and Niven....they probably try to destroy it

[Chronos]

No mate it's a complete 355 mm shell for the gun pictured.

This gun sits outside the Istanbul military museum and is the same as the ones that formed part of the defences over the Dardanelles. All of the original Turkish defences were melted down 50 odd years ago and this may be one of the only samples remaining.

As for how he's carrying it I believe that is how these shells were carried (most likely with straps over the shoulders) but probably only short distances between crews it's quite a common image over there and may be more symbolic than anything else.

Remember the Otomans with only 2 battle ships dealt a huge defeat to the British and allied navy's which is what sparked the Gallopili campaign. That victory is still celebrated today

I dare you to try it.

With your resourcefulness, it could be done.

[Boatman]

I can see it now.... 4 rifles side by side, buttplates against the chest.

Stick through all the trigger guards so you can pull them simultaneously.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

How far back do you think you would fly Brett?

You're going to want a limbsaver added to that
