A really really bug gun.
according to wikipedia this .950 caliber gun received a "sporting use exemption" from the BATFE so it does not need any special permit to buy. my question is what exactly are you hunting that requires a bullet that is almost an inch around. don't get me wrong, I want one, I just don't see a practical use for it...

How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?

Holy cow! That caliber is halfway between that (20mm of an AH-1 Cobra) ------------------------->
and the 30mm on an Apache. Must be for home(land) defense.

That answers the eternal question of "What caliber for Godzilla?"

The recoil would take your arm off as you were teleported several feet back!

I think I'll use it as a deer rifle, that way the deer will already be quartered up and I won't have to track it

What does "practical use" have to do with firearms acquisition?

Re: A really really bug gun.
Absolutely no use for this gun, but it would be cool to have a few of the rounds laying around as conversation pieces.
