where can i buy one of these, i need one for... reasons.
>>32169772
OP we both know you are going to shove the projectile up your ass so stop trying to fool us.
>>32169772
That is without doubt, THE coolest gun of 2016.
bravo
>>32169772
Going to shoot your mom, OP?
>>32169772
Well, what it is?
>>32170696
Internet says it's a whaling gun.
>>32170844
Hey, maybe OP just likes large women.

Horseshit steampunk fakery.
>>32169772
The fucking spear tip is bigger than the bullet it's attached to. There wouldn't be any pressure buildup to launch it out of the barrel
>>32169772
You can actually buy one on Simpson LTD. they're usually around 600 bucks or something. Check em out!

Whoooo! Bomblance gun! Fuck yeah.
>>32171933
I'm not seeing it. Which sucks because I'd probably actually buy one for $600 just to pin squirrels to trees and shit.
>>32171933
Yeah they're like 2-3x that much.
I'm so damn disappointed, anon, you have no idea.
>>32172185
It's under "antiques" in long guns, but the cheapest one that I saw was $1,250.
>>32170696
It's a white hole. You see, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Where a black hole sucks time and space in, a white hole spits time and space back out.
Did we just find the best HD weapon?

You find them in antique firearms sites
You should easily be able to rig up a harpoon for a shotgun
12/10 gauge break action single + harpoon in barrel + blank = harpoon launcher
A .73 Cal harpoon should be good enough for anything
>>32170678
OP would shoot your gf with it, if only you had one.
>>32173258
the backpressure from such a heavy projectile would blow up a shotgun barrel
>>32169772
>Reasons
We all know, OP.

It's real faggot.
>>32171729
Not a bullet. Looks like there has to be a charge or something behind it.
>>32171729
>>32172927
well, what is it?
>>32173728
Could you implement a "high-low" system like 40mm grenade launchers use to avoid that problem?

>>32173728
Only if it's the size of the bore
You use a small diameter rod, so gas escapes around it
>>32173833
See >>32173912
People have been making harpoon gins out of single shot shotguns for a long time.
Mostly for fishing.
You just make the shaft of the 'poon a little smaller than the bore.
>>32173858
You have to have more.
>>32172927
Only joking.

So it's decided then, we consult holly

>>32170696
It is called a bomb lance, every projectile leaves a different mark to identify who shot the whale and who it belongs to.

>>32173858
I miss him dearly :(
>>32174349
I'd love one of those. That Jews vibe. I think they use .38 blanks.
They're expensive as fuck, though.

Royal nonesuch shot a massive grappling hook from his 12 gauge slamfire with reasonable muzzle velocity.

So I guess that'll work as well. You should be near the target though. 10 yards or so.
>>32175804
That's a good example of an improvised method.
Instead of the hook, you have a harpoon head outside of the barrel with the shaft down into the blank. Attach some rope to the head of the harpoon, and you'd have the same thing.
You'd probably need to keep the weight of the shaft + head pretty close to your 1 ounce basic benchmark, so to be 100 percent safe. Aluminum arrow shafts of 30"+ should keep the weight way down but also provide enough strength so that it doesn't snap when the critter you've harpooned runs.
You could easily affix a spear fishing harpoon to the arrow shaft.
