Why don't they make a bullet with a diameter of 1"

>>33508814
I mean like one you can carry

>>33508814

well that was a quick thread

>>33508792
see>>33508814
also at least in the US there are laws preventing that in a handgun, and we have 20mm and up rifles

>>33508833
20mm and 30mm portable rifles do exist. So, why invest money into a 25mm rifle for a dead cartridge that would be intended for anti-tank roles?

>Weight 447 pounds (203 kg)
Are you saying you can't farmer walk 447 pounds?

for what purpose?

>>33509101
Same purpose as any other gun.

>>33509101
Dinosaur hunting

>>33509875
is the .577 Tyrannosaur not enough for you

> Nah, fuck the Euros. Come up with a new unit but also divide an inch by 100 because they had a good idea.

>>33508792
1 caliber would .01 inches. Caliber is measured in hundredths of an inch.

needle gun.
for when you really don't need to compensate.. or kill anything.

>>33508792
Because E = 1/2mass*velocity^2, and equal opposite reaction
To get the mass of an effective 1" round traveling at the speed needed to be an effective bullet would create too much recoil for infantry small arms.

>>33511310
Really? So a .223 is actually 0.00223" in diameter? And a .45 is 0.0045"? Fascinating. Tell me more about this uninformed world you live in.

No you fucking dildoes.

>>33511561
Except you see .40. To my knowledge there is not a single company that manufactures .40 S&W that puts "40 Cal." on their box.

>>33511561
Wow, I never knew a .22 lr was so tiny

>Can't tell if bait or retard.

>>33511561
so a one inch bullet would be 100 caliber?

>>33513043
A .50 is one half in diameter, so yes

>>33508792
First off, it would be 1.00 caliber, pronounced "one hundred caliber." Second, it would be considered a gun, not a firearm, and the nomenclature would be in inches, not caliber.

It would also be considered a destructive device.

Only if you couldn't bribe the ATF into granting it a sporting purpose exemption.

>>33511375
Well, as long as it penetrates 12"+....
