This entry details the 'Double Deuce' 2-Bore Rifle, a massive firearm from Forgotten Weapons. Expert Ian McCollum explains its historical bore measurement system, converting to 1.32 inches. The rifle fires a 3500-grain projectile with black powder, achieving 12,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and 1200 fps, though its 44 lb weight makes it impractical for typical use.

This guide details an experimental test conducted by Kentucky Ballistics, demonstrating the immense power of a custom 9-foot, 150 lb punt gun named 'Fury'. The test involves firing various projectiles, including a 1 lb lead ball with over 30,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, into a 5,000-gallon swimming pool to analyze its ballistic performance against a significant water barrier. The video showcases expert handling of a custom large-bore firearm and detailed analysis of kinetic energy and projectile impact.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features Scott testing an experimental 'cube bullet' design fired from a massive Punt Gun named 'Fury.' The Punt Gun, a 9-foot-long, 110+ lb black powder firearm, generates over 30,000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy and 800 lbs of recoil. The tests evaluate the penetration and deformation of aluminum, titanium, copper, and tungsten cubes fired into water-filled trash cans, showcasing the significant impact of projectile density.

This video demonstrates a unique ballistic test featuring a 4-gauge shotgun shell loaded with gummy bears, fired at a ballistic dummy. The experiment, conducted by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, highlights the significant impact of large-bore ammunition and the potential effects of projectile composition. The results show a substantial wound channel, with the gummy bears fusing into a single mass due to the heat. The high-energy presentation emphasizes the destructive potential and unique nature of this custom round.
