.950 JDJ rifle Just because you can.

Why because they could I guess SSK Industries who developed the .300 Whisper which is gaining a lot of traction in the tactical market and hunting developed the worlds largest center fire rifle the .950 JDJ yes folks that is a bullet with nearly an inch diameter bullet.  Here is a video of Knight Rifles putting the prototype through its paces.




According to the video and Wiki the cartridges are something like $44 a piece with the rifle being $8000 plus it has more muzzle energy than a WWI era tank.  I told the guys at work today that this would be good for killing buses and cinder block houses.  Believe it not this is not classified as a destructive device by the BATF because it does not explode would be my guess.  Most rifles above a certain caliber have to be registered as a destructive device mainly because they are filled with explosives. 

More of SSK big bore caliber bullets.
