It Could Be Tough To Hold On To This Elephant Rifle After It Fires

You may have missed the introduction of the .577 T Rex when it debuted several years ago. Its an over sized elephant gun that shoots a 750 grain bullet at between 2,150 and about 2,500 fps depending on the load. The target is hit with 10,000 pounds of force when impacted by a round from this thirteen pound rifle.
There was a video made of of people test firing it. Of the twenty four unsuspecting people who shot it, seven people could not hold on to it during the recoil when it fired, and the rifle flew from their grasp. Its really a shoulder cannon.
Ray Bradbury, author of "A Sound of Thunder,"would be proud. And, of course, when zombies attack just try to line up 15 or so of them and take care of them like Pancho Villa did with 3 or 4 Federales at a time in the early 1900's. Zombies should be softer targets.
