    Robocop, eat your heart out! Now, for the ultimate self-defense minded citizens who has everything, comes the Thunder 50 BMG--just what you need to take on enemy aircraft. Terri Dushane (left) and designer Janos Lakatos, however, won't endorse using the hefty handgun for rodent control.
    I guess if you ever get mugged by a elephant you'll be set!

    The Thunder 5 wheelgun will shoot .410 shotgun rounds or a 45/70 buffalo rounds and its small! only 9" overall

    When firing .410ga it feels like a controlled explosion, not a mule kick.
    Errrrrr OK

    Ha!

    I laugh in the face of your .50BMG pop-gun, and present to you... The .600 Nitro Express Pistol

    This is all entertaining, but I think we're drifting away from the purpose of the thread.

    I wondered how long it'd be before woody popped up :D

    I take it that everything has been sorted out then?
