Either way, it would be fun to watch it being shot. I would pass when it came my turn. Almost 50 years of shooting has left me with a flinch that's lurking just under the surface begging to be let out by a shoulder mounted anti-tank gun!

Hello WJL,

The first time I fired it, my buddy said; "HOLY CRAP, WOW, - Did you see the flames shoot out of the sides of that muzzle brake?"

I said; "No, - I had my eyes closed!"

Just think how much more spectacular it would be with all the smoke from black powder. It should blanket the shooting range for several minutes.

You know, when you do that with a 10 bore shotgun at the trap range, they can get downright pissy if there isn't a good stiff breeze lowing smile
