The what was they thinking thread
Bouncing around the internet you can find all sorts of weird things, but this one is up there as a winner for the "What was you thinking?" award in the firearms category.
Gentlemen, I bring to you, the .950 JDJ. What more needs to be said about a rifle whose cartridge design starts with a 20mm cannon shell, and then necks it out? A Rifle that could weigh between 80 to 100 pounds, 20 of which is the muzzlebrake. And that only drops the recoil to 200 foot pounds. A round that has to be machined and weighs in at just over half a pound (Yes, Pound), runs you 40 bucks complete with case, and has stats like 2200 FPS and a muzzle enrgy north of 38 thousand pounds.

This is what happens when you let someone design a cartridge on a drunken bet.
I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I wish I had a ballistic coefficient for it so I could run up a full Reflex damage table. At the muzzle the raw values are Dam 26/Pen x1 (adjusted for large-caliber crazy, it'd be Dam 19), but I suspect that's going to drop off quite rapidly over distance. - C.

*hrms* Since it appears that the projectile itself are all handmade on a lathe out of bronze, you could argue any bullet design you want, so... *shrugs* Figure a round with the same profile and coefficient as a .50BMG?
I'm *very* curious to what the V2.2 statline for this thing is to be honest.

I can see the Bulk and Recoil values being through the roof!

Get me more info and I'll do the stats just for fun! Though I would think it would be similar to a 20mm antimateriel rifle.
