I want one.

Edit: what I really want is one of those 20mm rifles that can take AA rounds. That'd be fucking sick. Just point it at something and boom! It's not a problem anymore!

Edit 2: the reason why I like obscenely high-caliber rifles is because it's fascinating to see all the different configurations that militaries have tried in an attempt to make a mobile, "hand-held" rifle capable of firing such a huge bullet without destroying the user's shoulder in the process.

Shoulder? Have you seen the power of recoilless weapons?

If they weren't recoilless, the person firing them wouldn't have a torso hahahahaha
