World's Biggest Revolver Fired Successfully

So this is fun.

A guy in Poland built a gigantic revolver. Then he fired it.

RT reports that "It took Mr (Ryszard) Tobys around 2,500 hours to construct, since most of the parts had to be built by hand."

The revolver fires 5 oz. bullets and is supposedly certified by Guinness World Records. The Pentagon has not yet contacted Tobys for potential contracts.

Well, it's a good thing we didn't end up obliterating the Evil Empire back in the day.

Because, then, RT wouldn't be around to show us the World's Biggest Revolver!

Gauge is calculated by how many balls the same diameter as the barrel would it take to make one pound.

12 guage shotgun = 12 balls of the diameter of the barrel would make one pound.
10 guage would only take ten balls.

Five ounce ball would be more like a 3 gauge.

...and I’m with you on the 1911...
