    Not sure where the term rifle stops and projectile launcher begins. But, I would say that it's before this!

    The one guy tried to go through a manual of arms with it LOL. They other guy didn't figure out that he needed to put that extra piece of foam on his shoulder. The recoil pad is very underwhelming to say the least.

    There's probably about 10 of them in existence, it's not really a marketable calibre.

    I wouldn't have thought so either. What application could it have?

    Would this not be classed as a destructive device rather than a rifle?

    Yes, which is why they had to get a specific exemption for it (which is why there's so few of them - and that one in the video is the lightest of the three rifles they made and apparently the most painful one to fire). And yes, the official reason for making it was just to see if it could be done.

    I was gonna say could they not get a smaller scope, but imagine the sniper's kiss of that beast if there was a bigger scope and someone tried to get in on the scope?

    It's also kinda deceiving. You'd think with the size of the rifle it's not that big. Not compared to the Anzio.
