If you read Unintended Consequences, you know about the Rhoda. Here is a similar caliber rifle in glorious action.

Doesn’t the caliber make this a “destructive device”?
nope, I believe it’s black powder… or at least the “double deuce” 2-bore stopping rifle is…
Black powder, antiques, and guns deemed to have a “sporting purpose” aren’t subject to NFA requirements. That said, we’ve seen how close F-Troop and Tech Branch follow the law in regards to classifications so . . . *shrugs* who knows.
Nope. Nope nope nopey nope. I like my shoulder right where it is, thankyouverymuch. Shoulder-fired artillery indeed!

That said … Wow. Finally, some basis for Hollywood’s “blow someone off their feet” special effects!

I wonder if Lehigh would be interested in making an Extreme Expansion round for this…?
Having spent several years testing shotguns, magnum J-frame sized guns, and big bore hunting revolvers . . . I’m good. My wrists, hands, and shoulders are probably already a solid 20-25 years older than I am.

Now if you wanna give me one of those on a mounted platform then we’ve got something going. Maybe Henry’s Solothurn S18-1000?
