Largest gun a civilian can own

Well that's what he says anyway.

The downside is that it won't fit in the garage very well.

I doubt my landlord would like that in the garden.. but think of the zombie carnage

Can you hunt with that?

I call BS. When he shoots a burst of rounds, the last one is fired with the muzzle no where near where the first one was fired and they hit a decent group. I'd like an actual artillery military person to comment on what they think, but I still think it was faked, the gun may be real but modified for this trickery.

the mannequin shot is definitely fake, you can see the explosion and it goes to the side, not backwards.

As the elevation increases from recoil there is no way the group will be that close together.

I'm glad I'm not the only naysayer.

Apparently he's never met these civilians.

I wasted half my morning watching his videos. oops

I noticed the barrel rising too.. and I thought the shell through the manniquinn would have just punched a good size hole through it.

Maybe he winged it? Maybe the muzzle-blast vaporized it?

Having seen a Bofors in action, I'm surprised at the uncontrolled recoil from that 40mm.

He's not even actually Russian! GASP

the flash/smoke originated from the mannequin, not from left of shot like it would if it had come from the gun.

He's on my team when the Zombies try to take over!

yea i saw that too. the muzzle angle changed like 20* and the 3rd or 4th shot shown hit lower than the first 2.

I think the muzzle rise vs. impact group controversy is more from editing than a true fake. The gun looks legit to me. (Of course, I'm no expert in WWII era European AA guns.)

I can't imagine what those rounds must cost. I'll stay with the smallbore stuff.

He's definitely wrong on one point: Bofors is Swedish, not Austrian.

I have a better chance of surviving the zombie apocalypse by hanging out with 914driver, Joey48442 and Frank Fifty.

Bofors designed the gun, it has been built under license by many countries.

If I were would I have access to his money?

He could adopt me if he'll make it worth my while.

According to another thread I'm Jeremy Clarkson.
