For his next act, he'll clap with his shoulder blades. . . .

Drydock,

Thanks for the video.
But... I think that is a bit more recoil than I want to experience.
My best,

More like an artillery round, then rifle.

I'll wait for the Howdah version.

I read somewhere that many of the ivory hunters had very short hunting lives because of the horrendous recoil generated by the guns that they thought were necessary to kill an elephant.

It was more due to vicious beasts, no antibiotics or medical care as well as malaria.

   Oh...heck no!     Looks like a shoulder held field piece.

And here I was thinking a .50 BMG rifle was a hand full!

The same folks that were trying to develop the Merwin Hulbert revolvers came out with a bolt action rifle they called the ".577 T- Rex".
Needless too say, that too failed with the Merwins. It was not loaded with BP!
My best,

Bah! That's a sissy gun. The only 4 bore gun I ever saw was a double rifle for that quick second shot.
