So Ace of Spades linked to this video of someone firing the .950 JDJ, the largest caliber center fire rifle ever made:

As someone with an irrational* desire to own something chambered in .50 BMG, it got me thinking: what other videos of people firing ridiculously large caliber guns are there out on the Internet?

I found some. (NSFW language in many of these.)

How about .577 Tyrannosaur?

.585 Nyati:

.600 Nitro Express pistol:

.600 Overkill:

20mm rifle:
