.470 Nitro Express vs. water jug

[Douglas12982]

The .470NE has weird ballsitics. I think it's a defensive cartridge designed to stop charging water buffalo at closer ranges.

@Douglas12982

or elephants, hence the name "elephant gun".



[theatwo]

@Douglas12982 It does have odd ballistics, it was designed as a fast replacement for the 450 N.E. when certain countries like Ethiopia and India banned its use (and ownership I think). The 450 was and is a awesome round for elephant and cape buffalo. While the 470 makes a great stopping rifle as you said, it was designed for elephant and hippo.

[navykid223]

thats a cool looking case you got there on 0:14. What kind of case is that and how much would it cost?

[HaloTrolling]

4 people own 22s



[niksarass]

0:14 holy shite

[bwhitepwns]

Can everyone rate? It's sad that this has over 50,000 views and only 36 ratings.

[scuzzy5005]

That jug was like "HUUUuuuuuuuu, that wasn't a .22"

[ntrudr800]

Who the hell doesn't want to shoot a large caliber double at least once in their life?

[fishreaper]

lol im glad his dad is a back surgeon, the damn gun probably displaced 8 vertebrae

[NastyBuilt]

40 pistol will have the same effect this proves nothing about the nitro

[bwhitepwns]

@NastyBuilt

not sure if you're retarded or just trolling. Normal guns would just shoot a hole in the jug with minimal splash. 470 destroys the bucket and sends water a good 10 feet in the air. Don't believe me? Try shooting an elephant with a 40 pistol, good luck.

[em613]

@bwhitepwns Well, I am not wanting to prove anyone wrong or argue, BUT it really depends on the type of bullet. Define "normal gun"? I mean, a Desert Eagle, 50AE with a hollow point bullet meant for cutting and shredding would actually have a similar effect with the amount of muzzle energy it releases and the sheer power of the round. Now, you're right about a 9mm, 40, probably a 45ACP wouldn't do as much either. However, the bullets if hollowpoint, would NOT just make a tiny hole. They shred.

[csgtfaught]

@bwhitepwns psh go kill one with a stop sign then get back to me :P

[ciran22]

@NastyBuilt its proves your a dickhead that knows fuck all about firearms

[goatkiller68]

@NastyBuilt Are you serious? a 40 caliber cant be compared to this? either your really that stupid or your just trying to piss people off

[Jaket2000]

@NastyBuilt What you hunt in Africa with a 40 Pistol? what the fuck is a 40 pistol? Its like saying a 45. Are you gonna go up to an elephant with a .40 something cartage and prod it? Specifics and proof are something we need, all you end up doing is either graze shots or wound the animal causing you to hunt it down and finish the job. If I recall a pissed off elephant is harder to stop then a pissed off Coyote.

[koxiesarmy]

I even love the sound of loading a large cal dbl. That clinking sound.

[Airgunhunter2010]

They make a pistol version of this. Wetherby magnum I think. The guy in death wish uses one.

[Airgunhunter2010]

Where is this?

[bwhitepwns]

@Airgunhunter2010

just north of Tucson Arizona

[Airgunhunter2010]

@bwhitepwns Cool do you go on safari or is it just for recreational use?

[richintalent]

My dad, God rest his soul, had a .450/400 elephant gun which I shot once and only once. We had a target backstop of 8" thick railroad ties. I swung the crosshairs on the target.... and woke up a minute later with The Bells of St Mary's chiming in my head. The bullet went THROUGH 8" of hard wood!!!

[jroberts7387]

Where can you buy a double rifle and where can you buy the ammo for it?

[Eggomania86]

Ammo is roughly $200 a box! A little much to be shooting a water jug! A 50bmg is cheaper and more powerful!! A 50bmg rifle $3000 start out compared to that double rifle $10000 plus ammo is $50 a box compared to the $200!

[bwhitepwns]

@Eggomania86

his dad is a spinal surgeon so money isn't really a problem

[Lassannn]

A Mexican drug gang once shot about 5 of these at Chuck Norris. That is recorded as the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in the history of ever.

[bmwsux4]

Imagine the impact on a rabbit........ What rabbit?

[OperationXeX]

BOOM goes the bad guy who runs out in front of it =P,

[enjoisk8r20]

seems like an expensive round to use on water.........

cool vid though!

[xsonz2]

How much is ammo for that thing?!

[bwhitepwns]

@xsonz2

about 9$ per bullet I believe

[AmoralEngineer]

@bwhitepwns Pricey stuff for sure! I have seen it at gander mountain before for around 175$ a box. 500 grain federals

[emogoth8569]

[bwhitepwns]
