Anyone here ever fire anything like this monster?

anzio iron works

In trying educate myself on large, exotic calibers, I came across this company. Some people will inevitably ask: why? I ask: why not?. A weapon like this seems like a very unique experience. To put it plainly, as you will see from the photos, it makes a .50 cal look like a Super Soaker.
 
If you want to find out exacly what sorts of energies we're dealing with here, feel free to use this little device that I've found invaluable for comparing ammunition. To put things into perspective, a 2000 grain 20mm round at the velocity quoted by the company will develope around 44,000 ft/lbs. Go ahead and compare that to more common cartridges.

I WANT THAT GUN!!!

Wowza!

[Nilsen]

ive fired a 40mm but with a slightly different setup

The size of these sniper rifles are getting a little ridiculous. For less weight and size you could get an anti-tank guided missile launcher.

But it wouldn't be as much fun!

Wonder how long it is until they are banned for being a threat to armoured limos/aircraft on runways etc.?

Anzio Iron Works was at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot last month. I saw the gun, but they were not offering range time.

The 50 BMG rifles are classified as "destructive weapons", but the 20MM takes it up a step further, and once a few of the legislative morons become aware of them, the 20MM will come under close scrutiny, and the attempts to make them illegal will follow.

Barret... when it first was introduced, and another AT gun on a tripod count?

FWIW - Unless you are reloading your own 20mm rounds and have access to the HEAT "bullet" you're going to find ammo extremely hard to get, and very expensive... even if you're licensed as a Military Collector

Looks like that Anzio Rifle would be a beast to have to lug around.

Yeah, I saw it there as well. It looks pretty impressive up close.

Will you be going to the fall shoot? Maybe run into you if so. When I'm able to go I always camp the weekend.
