This is not a whole lot different than shooting a one ounce (437.5 grain) 12-gauge slug from a rifled barrel.

They don't tell the ballistics of their round, but the cartridge is not necked-down very much. I bet the muzzle velocity is less than 2000 fps.

The video said it was a 2400 grain bullet at 2100 fps. That’s way more than a rifled shotgun slug. That’s around a 1/3 of a lb bullet.

I beg to differ. Bullet weight is 2800 grains and powder capacity is a lot greater than a 12ga.

I think muzzle velocity is 2200 fps.

Given E= 1/2M x V squared, the energy is a force of magnitude greater.

Muzzle velocity is 2100 ft per sec and they say so in the video.

The 12 gauge comes nowhere near the 25,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

It is way different.

From above link:

Ballistic performance
Bullet weight/type Velocity Energy
3,600 gr (233 g) 2,200 ft/s (670 m/s) 38,685 ft·lbf (52,450 J)

Recoil greater than 200 Ft-Lbs from 110 Lb rifle
