Those idiots who don't know how to hold a gun are going to get something broken or torn. Finally, the guy at the end had a solid sholder weld and stance.

That thing is vicious.

So taking Newton's 3rd law into account, it should impart quite a bit of energy into the projectile, and to the target, based on the energy expended on the shooter...

When you absolutely must drop the dinosaur with one shot. :s15:

DBC,
Actually yes. They are known as 'drillings' (my memory fails me as to why) but basically double barrel rifles. Generally started with the .500 Nitro Express and went up from there.

And like this one, VERY PUNISHING for the shooter. But it could drop an elephant in it's tracks (but NOT stop it's forward motion if it was on the move, which could be an issue, depending on how close you were).

If you want to read a little more about them pick up a book called 'Unintended Consqences', where the hero purchases and then hunts with them IN Africa.
