That is just insane...

Over 14,000ft/lb muzzle energy.

How could anyone even handel that kind of recoil?

The 585 Nyati is just as insane... Here's an quote from the wiki:
"
Sensible weights for a .585 Nyati range from 12 to 16 lb. Recoil in a 12 lb rifle would be severe. 10 lb rifles have been built, but the recoil from full power loads would be very difficult to manage, perhaps impossible for most shooters. For example, typical bolt-action hunting rifles weigh 7-9 lbs when scoped. [3] In typical calibers such as .308, .270, or .30-06, recoil ranges from 15-20 ft-lbf. [4] By comparison, a 12 lb rifle in .585 Nyati using a 750 gr bullet at 2466 fps [5] would have 158 ft-lbf of recoil."

From the report:

Quote:

We had hang fires in all the loads we tried

could you imagine bracing for a tremendous amount of recoil and experience a hangfire instead? the shooter would probably soil himself

also look up the .577 t-rex.

Hmm... I wonder what something like that would do to a squirrel... If there would be any visible remnants at all, or just random drops of blood.
