Chuckling imagining the loading table and exterior ballistics of a 504000 gr. (72 lbs, I think) bullet in 5.56. You’d have to remove the bolt carrier group so that you and a friend could chamber it, and it would stick way out of the muzzle. Bipod not included.

Make a very effective club, too, if necessary. Better yet, if you have the bayonet, that’s quite a pig-sticker!

See! A firearm can go crazy all by it’s self. Just like a SUV.
We are doomed!

Yeah.. “hacking” a Mosin Nagant might be a little hard...
But then, even nice modern rifles have no hackable elements.
Unless you blow a few grand on useless crap I never head of...

Can’t hack any of mine, but the 500 Smith is a favorite.

At least Nagant Cultists mix vodka with their koolaid...
I shot a steel plate match a couple weeks ago (10 targets from 100 to 300 yards, 3 minute time limit... funky format). There was a guy there with an 1891. He hit 4, I hit 9.
With one of these...

The wife and husband duo purchased two $13,000 TrackingPoint rifles ...
So, they bought rifles with computers to prove that you can hack rifles with computers. Okay.

Nice!
That beats me blowing the head off a prairie dog at about fifty yards with a G98 (open sights).

There’s a .45-120, I’ve heard. Sounds unpleasant to shoot. I was out shooting some 300 meter one day and a guy turned up in the next bench with a Martini-Henry. I got to play with it. VERY fun shooter.

Well, that’s a right shiny thing.
Probably goes well with frock coats and powdered wigs.

They made some .50-140’s too.Navy Arms used to chamber their rolling block replica in that caliber,among others.The empty brass were over 3 inches long,paper patched bullets were up to 700 grains.
Firing 20 rounds rapid fire should give you a work-out similar to a couple rounds with an MMA fighter.
