wat is the bigest cal. wepon a gun-happy hunting lunatic?

Question

i have the best licsenc a woman can have i have a 30cal. but i want more!(plz say 50 cal.!)

Answer 1

There are plenty of over .50 caliber muzzle loaders out there, heck, that was the standard Civil War round and muskets from the 1700s and earlier were even bigger. But today, .50 cal is the biggest you're gonna find.

Now, there do exist some recoiless 20mm antimateriel sniper rifles out there. Here's a link to look at some of these. It includes a comparison photo of a .50 shell and a 20mm shell.

Answer 2

your question doesnt even make sense. the best license a woman can have? all licenses are the same no matter what gender you are. and it seems like you are saying you need different license for a different sized bullet. thats not true.
my suggestion is to go find someone who hunts alot and go with them.
when it comes to what sized bullet to use there are a lot of factors to consider.
a big sized bullet doesnt really mean more power. when i pick a rifle to use on a game animal i want something with enough power to make a clean kill, but small enough that i wont cause unnesacery damage. something in the .30 range is about right for most animals.
also the ballistics of the bullet itself is important. how accurate the bullets flight is going to be. doesnt matter what sized round you shoot if you cant hit anything.
the rifle or pistol itself matters. a .50 rifle is very large and very heavy, why carry a 25 lbs rifle when a 9 lbs one will work? also how well can you handle and shoot a large rifle? how accurate is the particular rifle? can you shoot a large rifle with out the recoil effectiong your aim?
cost matters, the larger the round generally speaking the more expensive it is. as well as the more expensive the gun will be...generally.
also local laws matter as well. i know the .50 round is banned in california, because it scares the anti gun people, doesnt make any sense to me, no one robs a store with a 25 lbs rifle... also depending on what animal you are hunting your local laws might dictate what round you can use. you wont be able to hunt a large animal like an elk with a redeculausly small round like a .22. also how many bullets the rifle hold local law limits.
my suggestion is to keep something in the .30 range. i have used a .270 for years with very good sucess. 30-06 is a very good round. as well as the slightly less powerful .308. if you are looking for something that can knock over a charging buffalo, a .50 would do it, but a .300 rem ultra mag, or maybe a .338 ultra mag would do it just as fine.
find a rifle thats combfortable to carry and shoot. and one that you can hit what you are aiming at. bullet placement matters more then bullet size. choosing a rifle/bullet combination is very confusing, and people argue about it forever. just pick something you are combfortable with shooting, accurate, and not to expensive basically what you want to shoot. if it feels to weak upgrade, to much downgrade. just go out and enjoy yourself, a .22 can be just as fun as a .50. and be safe and good luck...

Answer 3

What kind of country or state do you live in where you need an actual license qualify for a certain class of firearm, as opposed to a background check and registration of a purchased firearm? Most nations and a number of states that matter restrict the ownership of .50s, since they're antimaterial rifles.

There isn't a legitimate hunting requirement for .50s, unless you're a big game hunter (think Cape Buffalo) where you want the one-shot kill guarantee for humanitarian reasons. The .50 is a long-distance target shooter. It's also detrimental to one's health, because of the recoil effects. I know of one person personally (elderly) who was banned from ever firing his again due to complications with his health.

Go with .338 Lapua or .375 if you want to upgrade. Or if you really want to lug that 25+ lb .50 rifle around that you paid upwards of $5000 for, hours in the bush, go right on ahead. Chances are you won't be allowed to hunt most kinds of game out in North America anyways. Check with your local game warden before you do something irreversible.

Answer 4

The biggest legal weapon (in most states) I think is a 0.30cal...but I heard there are some 0.50cals in the civilian market.

You want the biggest go for this one: the XM109 25mm sniper rifle (which is technically a modified M107/M82 0.50cal heavy sniper rifle, but with the 0.50cal which is adapted for firing machine-gun ammo replaced with yep a 25mm low-velocity cannon). Good for killing light vehicles and trucks (it fires special armour-piercing ammo which is also used on the Army's other 25mm cannon weapons), but overkill if your just gonna whack Bambi and friends.

I do not think I have to tell you that the XM109 is only a Military Use weapon...you may have to join the Military SOCOM or smuggle one.

Answer 5

Get a .460 weatherby if you're hunting with rifles. It;s practically an elephant gun (breech loading) or perhaps something chambered for 45/70 or 45/110 elko mag. if you;re looking for somehting huuge and impractical, i would suggest getting a M85A1 (i think thats the designation for it) Barret Light 50. It;s a semiautomatic .50 cal sniper rifle that fires the .50 BMG round. They;re still legal in the states and i belive you can get one for around 6 grand. They are intended for disabling hard targets such as trucks, etc, but they will kill anything you hit with it, even if you only barely nick it.

If its a handgun you;re wanting then there are several .50 cal handguns.

EDIT: the barret is NOT bolt action as stated in someone else's answer.

Answer 6

The Kodiak double-barreled .58 caliber. BUT (there's always one 'o them buts isn't there) it is a muzzle loader and fires a 110 grain bullet.

Modern firearms would be the Barrett Light 50. A 50 caliber bolt action rifle with a 5-round magazine. Expect to spend about $3,000 on the rifle and about $3.00 a round for ammo.

Answer 7

I seriously doubt that 50cal. is available for legal hunting. The problem is the distance a round will travel when you miss your target or the round passes through the target and into the next county or country, for that matter.

Answer 8

30 cal? That's for wimps! Go for the .50!

Answer 9

First time writing? More practice needed.

Answer 10

smith and wesson 500 or a .460 magnum by magnum research.
