Czech Loudenboomer
« on: December 05, 2006, 09:53:47 AM »
Here a Euro revolver that can give the Smith 460 a run for biggest and baddest.

Among others it comes in Picra .460, which as it is based on .458 bore is not just hype like the Smith is.

What is the parent brass? Who is the revolver's maker? Got any stats on performance?

That's the same thing I found, but my Czech is rusty and the font is screwed up anyhow.

The 5,6 Picra seems very close to the .22 Reed Express made out from necking down the 7.62x25 round.

The Pusky.   Perhaps a line-thrower...or a bucket launcher, maybe.  I totally don't know what it is, but I want it.

It is a net launcher.

That's easy enough to fix, except for the fact that they are still under construction on their English website!  Photos don't work on FireFox, they do work on IE.

If you have a thousand or so laying around, you might be able to get this revolver chambered in the Picra rounds.
