Largest / Most Powerful gun you've fired

[ChadW]

Just wondering what was the largest / most powerful or even most fun gun everyone has ever fired.

Me... nothing exciting. .44 Mag but I'd love to hear from everyone else.

B.A.R. (Not the hunting rifle, but the military automatic weapon!) Very unique with its two rates of fire. Fires from an open bolt, and it seems like FOREVER while you;re waiting for that 3+ inch bolt to slam home!!!

 

[wheelman44]

a 458 winchester lots of power minimum fun

 

[2Loud4You]

I guess that would be my 460V

 

[USAF385]

Largest and most powerful for me: 105 mm on a ac-130 gunship

Eat your heart out!

This little sucker will take out a school bus at 11 miles.

It delivers a 200 lb. high explosive projectile.

Damn, it was fun!

It is an 8 inch, towed howitzer. It went into service during WWII and was used into the 60's. You pull it with a 10 ton prime mover truck, has a crew of eight (which you don't need. It can be shot with about four people.) It will deliver one round per minute.

You need to swab out the "chamber" with a wet mop after each round is fired in order to extinguish any burning powder fragments. If not...you are in for a surprise when you load the charge.

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Browning BPS 3.5" 10 ga- that or +p's out of my 337-or the Ithica 20 ga sxs by SKS with 3" mag 20 ga-maybe not the most powerful by a long shot, but each brought tears to my eyes

Now as far as a big boomer and fun-well that would be my Ruger super redhawk in 44 mag or my 686 2.5"(which throws a FLAME like you would not believe)

 

[papalondog]

Most powerful off the shoulder would be a 400 Nitro. Biggest caliber or diameter would have the be the 3 inch PVC potatoe gun

 

[ChadW]

Haha the military guys are cheating! Those are some large guns my friends.

 

[enfield]

M2 3.5 inch rocket launcher, AKA the Super Bazooka.

 

[toroflow1]

Friend of mine has a .600 Nitro double rifle...it hurts to fire it! Me, most powerful is a Barrett M82A1 .50 cal for a rifle; an Ithaca 10 gauge mag autoloader for a shotgun; and either an S&W .500 or BFR .45-70 revolver.

 

[Gutpile Charlie]

The largest "non military" gun was a .30-30 in a Thompson Center Contender. (hand gun)

As to "regular stuff", 300 Win Mag in a rifle.

Largest military "small arms" would be a Browning M1917 air cooled machine gun.

 

[Noah Zark]

The "Ma Deuce" Browning M2 .50 Heavy Machine Gun.

Worked on dozens of them while a 2111 in the USMC and USMCR.

[jholder]

.50 caliber Barrett.

I enjoyed firing a 106MM Recoiless Rifle both while in School at APG and later in the RVN but that second time was part of a "Accidental Death Investigation" so it wasn't near as much fun.

Hey Charlie, one of these sits out front of the Somersworth, NH National Guard building. I grew up climbing all over it and checking it all out. Imagined putting it through it's paces. You got to do the real thing.

Would be a shoulder fired 90MM Recoiless Rifle at them little NVA coming through the jungle (not to mention M2 Browning .50 cal. machine gun). And a M72 LAW (anti-tank weapon) into NVA bunkers.
