SSK Industries Makes Largest Center-Fire Rifle Ever, Bullets Cost $40 Each

[bdad]

Ohio-based SSK Industries has produced the largest center-fire rifle in history. It is a .905 caliber which produces recoil equivalent to shooting ten .30-06 rifles at the same time.



Each bullet costs $40 and comes in at a weight of 2400 grains. For comparison, the bullet fired out of an AR-15 costs .50 to .70 cents and weighs approximately 55 grains.
The rifle itself is currently being produced at a weight of about 50 pounds, but the earlier prototypes weighed in at over 100 pounds.
In a video of the rifle being shot, those working with the gun report it fires a bullet at approximately 2,100 feet per second with roughly 25,400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. For comparison, the muzzle energy of an AR-15 is approximately 1,300 foot-pounds.
So far, SSK has only produced three of the .905 caliber rifles.

LOL at calling that a bullet, you could use those as anti-aircraft rounds!

Seriously lol... You can't hunt anything smaller then a water buffalo or you wont have meat. Plus with the recoil like that you might miss the target since you're pulling the gun.

Definitely gonna kick like a mule, but I would love to take a shot at it.

That would slow LE/HSA down and make em think twice. I wonder what the range is.

 

[Ichigo]

I want one!

20 Milimeters (mm) = 0.78740157480315 Inches (in)

.905 Inches (in) = 22.987 Milimeters (mm)

That bullet is bigger than a standard anti air round by a whole 2 almost 3mm. This would just be less powder. This would be a crazy rifle to shoot.


20mm SNIPER RIFLE--AWESOME! this looked interesting too

Good luck owning one with out a Class III permit. Anything that big is considered a destructive device.

To bad during the Cambridge door to door civil liberties breach not one person had one.

'sir lay prone while our robot searches you' Boom!

That thing needs some kind of hydraulic shock device between the muzzle and the stock and also at the butt.

Equipped with some of the newer radar scope tech you can see a target through a brick wall and destroy them...maybe a quadcopter equipped with a radar scope can get in close and allow the sniper to see motion behind a wall a foot thick up to 50feet and neutralize...

That would be fun to shoot!

Put off any arm/shoulder workouts for a week or 2 afterward...
