HA!



Anyone have the video of the Middle Eastern guy shooting a rifle in some indoor range that knocks him down?  That's funny also.

While the video is pretty blurry, closely looking reveals that it was clearly a major caliber double barrel action rifle, probably chambered in the .600 Nitro Express Elephant hunting round, and  has had the barrel sawed off and been converted into being a pistol.

This has got to be the most stupid and useless handgun ever created in history.  Party because the handgun is so much lighter than a normal elephant rifle, I estimate that the free recoil energy of the gun must be somewhere around 300 ft lbs of recoil energy.   The gun would be moving back at a velocity of about 60 feet per second, which is why you saw it flying out of the man's hands.

In comparison, a typical .30-06 hunting load produces about 14 ft lbs of recoil energy when shot from a rifle, and a max load on a .375 H&H Magnum ( popular for hunting big game in Africa ), is about 39 ft lbs of recoil energy when shot from a rifle.  Note the .30-06 shoots a 150 grain bullet, the .375 H&H shoots one twice that heavy at 300 grains in weight, and the .600 Nitro Express shoots a 900 grain bullet, which is 6 times heavier.

Here is some background info on the .600 Nitro Express cartridge and rifles made for it:
