need new magazines do ya???
And that is pretty much how that would play out ![]()
I love this guy.
The Chicken gun. The first Chicken gun was built in 1942 because with the advent of WW2 there were suddenly so many planes, that bird strikes became common.
The DC3 windshield would let a chicken go through the cockpit at only 75 mph. DC3’s went much faster than 75 mph. In fact a chicken could penetrate a DC3 just about anywhere at full speed. Never mind the shrapnel, watch out for birds.
So they needed a way to test how well windshields protected the plane.
They built the chicken gun. It fired a 4 lb chicken at 430 mph.
They built windshields to survive this.
But when they were testing the Boeing 757, they missed, and hit the aluminum and it went right through it.
So they tested it on the similar 767, and it went right through it, as well. The jets had to be redesigned.
One interesting tidbit, the FAA actually has a rule against using frozen chickens.
Most people aren’t afraid of chickens, but if a chicken is in motion at 430 mph, you should be.
This is an actual revolver chambered in 600 Nitro Express that you can buy. Although I doubt very many have been sold at the cost of almost $20,000 a piece. It is custom built by Pfeifer Zeliska, and I would guess they built it as more of a publicity stunt and being able to claim they build the world’s most powerful revolver than for any practical purposes.
He’s not smiling because the recoil broke all his teeth
I’d take a Crack at it. A guy in Anchorage had a 460 wby built on an encore frame. That thing would get your attention.
Ill try anything…once
OK, maybe not anything
