It's a modified Thompson Contendor

Here's the snippet that's following it around and is posted on a lot of the hand gun sites;


This video is basically a "show and tell" custom built on a Thompson Encore (fancy
version of the Thompson Contender). The Caliber... 600 Nitro Express. That's right...an elephant gun round in a handgun. The story goes that
the guy that built it is some kind of custom gun maker, and built this
as an exhibition piece. He takes it to the range with him just to show
it off, and the big guy that shot it (in the video) had been bugging
the builder to let him shoot it. Now think about this...only until
fairly recently (early-mid '80's IIRC) the 600 Nitro Express was hands
down the biggest, nastiest, hardest hitting, and heaviest recoiling weapon
you could buy.

It was designed for one simple purpose...to knock an elephant flat
on his butt. IMO, it was really built as an exhibition piece for guys
"compensating"... this cartridge! is known for breaking collarbones,
arms, shoulders...of the shooter! Think about this, in the gun world
they use what is termed as a "recoil index" to kind of give prospective
buyers an idea of what a gun kicks like. A .30-06 gets a rating of a 1.0, which for many people is about the
limit of what they can shoot multiple rounds thru comfortably. A 243
is rated at like a .4, a .270 was like a .8, etc. The ..600 Nitro Express
is rated at 9.4...9.4 times more punishing power than a 30-06.

OK if this little snippet is true. Then the guy that fired it is a IDIOT! and the guy that you can hear in the background calling him a sissy ought to have to fire the thing one handed.

BUT it is still funny

[FinsnFur]

  True

[CCP]

  That was a new technique! Its called free recoil

Using this technique it takes 3 shooters to get a three shot group. To be good at it you have to have a good noggin. Rifle scopes are more fun becouse you have to hold youer eye closer but, its more precise.

[FinsnFur]

 Yeah, and you gotta duck fast 

[slagmaker]

Did a little looking just to see the numbers on the power he was holding in his hand or should I say try and faild misserably at.

Slag ole boy........you're a walking lexicon if I ever seen one.....

[slagmaker]

Hehehe I try to find out info as I can. You would not belive some of the stuff I have looked up jsut for the fun of it.

Space and exploration of the solar system are a hobby of mine.

What is a lexicon?

[coyotehunter_1]

Lighterknot,
That's just another one of them thar buck and a quarter words professor Bopeye likes to throw around. 


I used my New American Webster Lexicon to look it up...

Lexicon:  A dictionary, special vocabulary, glossary, word list or thesaurus.

[Bopeye]

Buck and a quarter?..........ya cut me to the quick Chet. That's got to be good for at least five bucks...........you buy at Shoney's......
