Impractical firearms, that you want...

Practicality is all just a state of mind.

One of my most desired projects to start right now is a GE Mini gun. Its a pricey build and have to find the parts cheap or it can get out of sight. At this point I have none but have a good line on some kits and a rough receiver casing. Might have a case chute coming!

Google can tell you more about it than I, but basically it is an electric driven 6 barrel gatling-style ammo waster.

There is a cool video on youtube (sorry no link) of the last knob creek knight shoot from a droan. The solid red line of tracers is a minigun I believe. Its just disgusting...

Of course I am an 07/02 and this would be a post sample, all NFA rules apply. Do not make one of these at home without proper licensing.

 

Bonus points for the "Shrek" reference. Puss-n-boots would be proud.

 

That would be so fun. If I win the lottery I'll have one.

 

Yes lottery would help very much!

Found the video, sort of. It has been encapsulated in another video. Somewhere around 1:23 is what I believe to be a mini gun. Make sure you have a change of underpants handy..

 

It's not quite the same, but there's a kit to turn two Ruger 10/22's into a gatling gun.

GATLING GUN KIT - POLISHED CNC MACHINED ALUMINUM FOR RUGER®

 

Yes, that thing is pretty cool, and right for the price! Technically not a gatling gun but cool none the less. They can be made to fire in synch or out of synch. I have plans for a similiar setup using a pair of SKSs that I would like to get to some day.

 

375 Weatherby- under impractical- but you can use 375 hh rounds in it. rifle weight is just shy of 14 lbs , 1/4 min accuracy at 600 yards with 300 grain boat tail pill. Runs out of steam somewhere after 7-800 yards as it only starts off at apx 2600fps. A faster twist than what I have might cure the longer range instability. Sorta like the 45-70 takes awhile to get there but a heck of thump when it does. I don't know the native American phrase but the loose translation for the 45-70 is "the gun that shoots today & kills tommorow"

 

Ruger .454 Super Redhawk Alaskan, because my MP340 shooting .357 Mag +P isn't uncomfortable enough to shoot.

 

I've always been intrigued by the 45-70. My great uncle used to shoot full sized silhouettes at like 400-600 yards with his old rolling block. I remember him telling stories of the length of time between the shot and then hearing the "ping"! When he passed away he had told the family that I could have one of his firearms. If I hadn't been so young and dumb at the time (I was 19) I probably would have taken the rolling block. Instead I picked a 14" Contender in .223 which, while fun and accurate, lost it's novelty pretty fast.

 

Believe it or not, it's not that bad. I think my 7-1/2" SRH in .454 has more felt recoil than the Alaskan. No doubt, they're both a handful.

 

CZ Euro Safari in .458 Lott. Don't know why, just because. Already have the three six bits.

 

I bought a Zastava bolt action (can't remember M-70 or M-98) chambered in 458 Win Mag. No practical use at all where I live, unless I wanted to go shoot a moose or black bear. It's the boom-hahaha-ouch gun.

 

Hmmm bought, impractical .

Being ex military just not a fan of the 223 as I used them for years. Heck was a armorer with many many to take care of for a year = AR's M16's. Just not my weapon of choice. Much prefer the 7.62x39 round.

 

Wait, did you pick one up??

 

Yep. To replace a Iver Johnson Super Enforcer I have regretted trading off forever.

Pic bro shows folks. Bro is a enabler. He also got more PMR30's in and I want one of those too.

 

Shoot it one handed yet?

 

Nice!! We've gone full circle!
You'll have a lot of fun with that thing. You'll probably be surprised with the accuracy also. Shooting from the hip, you almost always hit the hillside.

 

Not worried about hillsides. I've shot M-60's from hip etc in military and 50BMG bulldog standing up from shoulder.

prone 900yds m60 in to oil drums.
