Granted, the bullet diameter is a little bigger, but is it actually more powerful than the Anzio Ironworks 20mm?





ETA:  Hmmm...it may be.  It's slower, but significantly heavier.

That doesn't look "bad" to shoot at all-considering. There was an ebay seller selling dummy rounds for that-he claimed that "the recoil is so severe it's knocked shooters unconscious" then said " I know, I have fired it". After seeing that video I'd shoot it given a chance. If I could have my chance at any overly large gun I wanted to shoot, though, I'd shoot the 2 bore muzzleloader built by Steve Zihn for Bigdog on nitroexpress.com. THAT rifle's a piece of art.
The rifle in the linked video-I have to say, the standard sized scope looks comical on top of an action that big.

It looks just like my 20ga that I mounted a BB gun scope on for S&G.

i posted something about it a while back in the .700 WTF thread.

anyways.. .

950 JDJ:
Energy.. 38,685 ft·lbf ....  .... The muzzle energy of the .950 JDJ is comparable to the kinetic energy of a 2,800 lb (1,300 kg) automobile traveling at 20 mph (32 km/h)....

Pretty sure this rifle has not been exempted by the Attorney General or BATFE. It would be impossible to prove you are going to "soley" use it for sporting, recreational or cultural purposes.


The term “destructive device” shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 4684 (2), 4685, or 4686 of title 10; or any other device which the Attorney General finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, is an antique, or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting, recreational or cultural purposes.

If you notice, they need stacked chairs to get proper height for proper sight picture.  

And i think you ABSOLUTELY want to lean into this gun.  If you give it a chance to start moving (in recoil) before it hits you, you are in big trouble.

I can't find a list right now, but .950JDJ is exempted along with .577TREX, .600NE, .700NE, etc.  I have no idea what they use to make the distinction.

Protip 101 - The more aggressively you lean into a rifle, the less recoil you will feel.

 



I might try that rifle standing, but sitting you can't move at all the absorb the recoil. Would love to see the effect on target.

This is correct, and I will build one one day for myself, once I've got some money to spend on it, I think it would be a great tool for a gunsmith who does custom work, to show to customers and such. Also I'm 6'5" 320 pounds, this is the rifle for me, considering they weight north of 100 pounds.





.50 BMG in the middle, to the left of it are a .950 solid, an empty case and a loaded round, I forget what rounds are on the right, I believe that they are other JDJ rounds, but am not sure

I've always found it much more comfortable to sit upright and move with the recoil.  Same reason prone shooting is harder on the shoulder than offhand or why small guys claim to feel less recoil than big guys.  Granted, I've never applied this premise to anything more powerful then a 12 ga slug in a light shotgun or a .338 Win. mag so I will conceed a .950 JDJ may require leaning into it just to keep it on the table.

I was never suggesting this.
 I'm just suggesting a position where you move more w/ the recoil and therefore spread it out over a longer period of time.

Wikipedia says so, though without attribution:
As its name implies, rifles chambered for the cartridge have a bore diameter of 0.950", which would normally classify them as Destructive Devices under the 1968 (1934) National Firearms Act. However, SSK sought and received a "Sporting Use Exception" to de-regulate the rifles, meaning they can be purchased like any other Title I rifle by a person over age 18 with no felonious criminal record.

I thought I read somewhere that the recoil was so strong on .950 that the human body cannot endure it without causing injury.

Actually, that IS Cali legal. It is so stupid, we can't have a bolt action .50 BMG (a ".50 BMG rifle") but we can can have M2s in .50 BMG (not a "rifle") and mega bore rifles like .700 WTF, 600 NE and .950 JDJ.
