600 nitro express handgun?

Seen that vid before. I would say it's a .454 Casull or another heavy calibre handgun round, possibly the .500 S&W or a .50 AE?

 

A .600NE would seriously damage every joint in your arm/shoulder if you tried a handgun loaded in that calibre, even if you overcame the engineering aspects of getting a 3"+ cartridge case into a handgun action . In a 17lb double rifle the recoil from a 600 is enough to really shake you.

That was a bizzare video...

 

What would anyone need a gun like that for?

 

As for recoil, I once hired a reproduction post American Civil War trapdoor Springfield chambered for the .45/70 cartridge. It was a very lightweight carbine, maybe about six pounds. First I used a few black powder reloads that were nice and light, about 50 gains of ffg b powder, and then I bought a box of 25 .45/70 nitro factory loads..... What HORRIBLE experience with such a lightweight rifle. I fired six and had a headache for two days. It was like getting punched in the face. I gave free shots to other people and none would fire mor than two or three, even the headbangers.

Reminds me of the first time I shot a .357 Magnum in Florida... Standing next to it when someone shot was like being slapped in the face, but it was a baby to shoot.

 

Didn't Webley used to make a .455 revolver for naval issue during the inter-war period?
