My Dad sent this link to me over email this past week. I thought it was the firearm equivalent of a tractor pull. Overkill in every way and no known use.

I beg to differ. Overkill, yes. No known use? Pish tosh. It has a LOT of use for pure silly entertainment.

I agree, its entertaining for OTHER people to shoot.

If you want to put on your camo and tin foil hat it would make short work of any armored car or urban SWAT vehicle. I'm thinking along the lines of the Finnish Lahti anti tank rifle. Granted there are plenty of smaller and more common rifles that could also accomplish that feat.

I want the Box of Truth to test that rifle. I was considering it for home defense, but am concerned it may go through about 539 layers of sheetrock.

I am truly disappointed. We didn't get to see any pictures of the holes they must have made through the mountain they had to have fired into!

If you shot it in Houston, it might stop by the time it gets to Austin.

Possible uses? Shooting the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. The huge monster in Return of the Jedi. Maybe a blue whale coming up to the surface. Oh wait, having fun shooting down large trees and buildings. Sure is fun to watch though!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

I want to see pics of their shoulders the next day!
