8ga is all you need
>>29087349
>unloaded, empty brass
>$40 each
This is one gun I can honestly say I have no desire to own.
my shoulder and wallet hurt just looking at them
>>29087349
Good fucking God
>>29087574
>not spending $20k on a gun, and $120 per shot
poorfat pls.
>>29087675
I bet just the primer on that 4 bore is bigger than the 22lr
I wish someone would make a modern one and do a recoil test on these, that's a number I want to see
>it's basically a shoulder-fired 1 inch gun
>>29087349
>>29087675
Oh, isnt that 4-bore cute.
here's a 2 bore, what's it next to? .458 lott? No, thats a .700 nitro next to it.
I'd rather have a 2 bore.
Half pound lead balls going 1500 FPS each shot.

A real elephant gun.
The Wikipedia article on 2 bores has a funny story lol
>>29087727
I guess you can call 2 bores "2 nitro express" but "2 thousand nitro express" sounds better.
>>29087741
>>29087727
mother of a fuck.
a fucking half-pound, 2 inch projectile.
I wonder what kind of power you could get if you loaded the rounds with smokeless, on a modern-built gun of course.
I get that this thing was meant to kill elephants and shit, but jesus fuck, wouldn't it just shoot a hole through the fucking thing?
>>29087794
>kind of power with smokless
to much to hold.
also, half pound is a round ball, conicals are heavier.
>>29087794
The idea was this was your OH SHIT gun. There were few thing back then that could stop a pissed off charging elephant or rhino. The 4 bore was a guaranteed kill shot.
>>29087853
Yes.
And 4 bore round balls are 1/4th of a pound.
Shoulder mounted artillery.
Fucking hell.
>>29087853
I just meant in general, no fucking way would you shoulder it.
so a projectile shaped like say, a 30-06 bullet in 4 bore, could weigh about 3/4ths of a pound?
with the neck casing to match.
could you fucking imagine that?
necked, 4 bore rifle with smokeless?
you could take down buildings and kill bradleys with that shit

>>29087874
No it wasn't.
The 2 bore was created because 4 bores couldn't reliably drop a charging elephant.
>>29087890
You could also turn your 4 bore into a shrapnel bomb...
I've never heard of anything but black powder being used in 2 and 4 bore cartridges.
>>29087574
40 fucking bucks? Might as well get a lathe to make spare shells with. Giant mini shells might take care of some recoil while still lobbing a huge projectile, dunno if it would still be able to take down an elephant though.
>>29087727
>a gun whos bore you could fuck
mans best friend.
>>29088105
IIRC theres some .338 round that costs about that.
like .338/370 or some weird thing.
>>29088052
Oh sorry I thought you were referring to the 4 not the 2.
>>29087727

>>29088090
put it on a small piece of artillery
>>29087711
to be fair, the primer of a .50 BMG is pretty much the same size as a .22, if not bigger.

2 bore :D funfun
>>29087890
It's called the 25mm on the Bradley.
>>29087711
Couldnt find any 4 bore, but this 2 bore is next to 9mm, the primer pocket looks damn near .32 cal
>>29089485
>only 2 bore lol
>>29089485
Those take .50 BMG primers IIRC.
I know because I watched the entire playlist I posted in >>29087741 and there's one video where he modifies 2 bore cartridges to accept 12 gauge shell primers because .50 BMG primers are expensive as fuck and not always available.
I don't know why, America makes a lot of .50 BMG right? Or do they do it in batches and only start manufacturing again after the stockpile starts running dry?
