What is the biggest caliber you've ever shot, /k/? I've never handled anything bigger than .45-70 gov't, and only got to run 100-ish rounds into it.
>>
>>33121020
I shot a piece of naval artillery once. Caliber? Big.
>>
>>33121020
25mm, Bradley Cannon.
>>
30mm 2A72
>>
>>33121020
25x137 from an M242.
>>
.22lr
>>
My favorite round, 8mm Mauser from my Kar98k.
>>
>>33121020
40mm paint round, hey...it still counts.

40mm HE grenade.

Does homemade count? Because I shot a 3lb piece of lead out of an old galvanized pipe with some old black powder pellets

Molded the lead with a gatorade powder container submerged in water. It actually turned out pretty nice but I couldn't find the chunk of lead
>>
120mm HEAT and APSIS but that was of course job related.

As a private gun enthusiast, .50bmg, .50AE, .45-120 (does a .69 caliber musket count?)
>>
>>33123562
APFSDS you assfucked autocorrect
>>
.577 Nitro rifle.
>>
>>33121020
7.62 NATO
I live in a nogunz country, he army was kind enough to let me fire an FN MAG once.
>>
>>33121020
12g 3.5" magnums or 69 caliber muzzleloading rifle. Pretty similar desu.
>>
>>33123742
>12g 3.5" magnums

I shoot those out of my 7lb 887

Christ they're punishing
>>
>>33123761
I only ever bought one box, just to see how awful they could be. Really makes your arms and head hurt for awhile after. Never tried the 3.5" slugs, I imagine those might be a bit worse than the buck.
>>
>>33121020
Probably .458 SOCOM.
>>
7.62x54r
>>
>>33121359
8mm mauser is a hoot
>>
12g. 3.5" magnum slugs from a SxS double barreled shotgun.
Both barrels at the same time
Was a bad idea
>>
>>33121020
Remington .300 ultra mag.

If homemade counts I have 2in cannon made out of PVC. If not 9mm.

30-06 probably, unless 3" 12ga counts as bigger.
Rattled my brain because we were shooting it out of a single shot gun, so it was definitely the most violent feeling thing I've shot. Normally I'm using my vepr12, or at least a pump with a bit of a rubber pad on it.
>>
Whatever this is

My .300 Win Mag.

I'd pay good money to fire a tank gun once.
>>
>>33121020
For shoulder-fired? .505 Gibbs

For crew-served? 84mm M3 MAAWS
>>
>>33121020
5O cal. I know 99% of you never shot one.

I was tired and shot it after a 3 day convvoy. The fucking thing rattles the Earth.

I also shot a Mark 19. And even tho I was an 0311 I've cross trained with 0341's.

So this ain't your daddy's 12 guage. I've done big boy shit.

>>33126370

Just because you are a marine doesn't mean you can't be stupid. Most people assume marines are stupid right off the bat, because as you're proving, a lot of you are.

It's .50 caliber. O is not a number.

The Maginot Line was THAT extensive? This almost looks like the 40's version of that one diagram of Bin Laden's Tora Bora complex.

OK. Once again your stupid and I'm wrecking you. Keep it up I'll make you sound stupider.i have an hour.
>>
does bowling ball mortar count?
It's technically an 8.5 inch gun, i guess.
>>
>>33126522
I made you seem so fucking stupid you are replying to my earlier posts so people don't see how fucking retarded you are.
>>
>>33126569

No, actually, I'm a different guy just popping in to point out that you're a retard. Good job perpetuating the "marines are retards" stereotype.

You're also proving to be the pinnacle of maturity by engaging in a "nuh uh, you're stupider" fight. Good to know that level-headed, mature individuals such as yourself are responsible for national security.
>>

>>33126602

So Marines win. Here's the thing. I'm kind of tired. So I'm going to nap.

I'll wake up somewhere around 3:30. I'll do you in the butt. Otherwise fuck off because you're annoying.

>>33121020
From Latin America (not Mexico), largest caliber I've fired is .38 Super (hence the not Mexico clarification), the largest cartridge I've fired was .308 out of a late 1970's production G3 (tried using the fun mode but it was too uncontrollable for my inexperienced ass); fired 16 rounds through it, had to let a couple of my uncle's friends shoot a couple of rounds through it each for taking me to the range to test it (I'm the family armorer).

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Anyone else used this round?

I had the opposite order of experience. I learned shotgun handling on rental O/Us at a range, so the Vepr12 feels like a kitten in terms of recoil.
