  1. I own an 8 Bore rifle (black powder cartridge) and have handled a .700 Nitro Express rifle (was for sale for $70k) Both much larger bore diameter than a .50 caliber.


  2. there are alot of guns bigger in the hand gun range.. some even shoot rifle bullets!..

  3. yes there are tons and tons but they are all guns that are fired from tanks and hummers and tripods you would not want to hold one and try and shoot it although in certain 50 cal guns you can put in a 60 cal round its just longer

  4. Yes. .55 calibres .700 calibres

  5. Modern pistols are limited to .50 cal. bore by Federal law; anything larger is considered a 'destructive device'.

    Even tho I have seen & fired .69 & .75 cal. muzzle loaders, the .700 Nitro Express double rifle is about the largest & most powerful modern rifle there is.

  6. Anything bigger then .50 inched that has no sporting purpose ( Shotguns and the such) is a Destructive Device in the US . You need to pay a transfer tax to own it. That said there are quite a few 20 MM Solothurns Rifles in private hands in the US

    There are also some (but not as many) Lahti 20 MM rifles in provate ownership....

    To the best of my knowledge those are the 2 most common Larger then .50 in non sporting rifles in the U.S.

    There are also a bunch of Blackpowder based rifles, the .600 and .700 Nitro rounds, As they are blackpowder based they are generally not considered Destructive devices buy the BAT f***s.


  7. That depends on what you mean by bigger,

    Many muzzle loaders have a larger bore diameter than .5 inches.

    Shotgun slugs are on par with the weight of .50 caliber  bullets.

    There are your answers. Now for my question: Why would you need something bigger or more far-reaching than the sacred .50 BMG?

  8. You're asking about a larger caliber than .50 or actual weapon size?

    Many calibers are larger than the .50:  .577 T-Rex; .600 Nitro Express; .700 Nitro Express; 2-bore; 4-bore, etc.

    Size of weapon.  Enter the words:  The Weapons of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins on any Internet Search Engine and click on 'punt gun.'
