The what was they thinking thread

[Panther Al]

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.
