This thing was confiscated from a rhino poacher. Note silencer.

Damn...what an abortion.

[Dustbuster]

LOL i know but hunting rhinos w it?? thats almost like hog hunting w a .22

[crashgordan]

that cylinder looks about 4-5 inches long... probably hold a least a 300 win mag...

[Ugly]

I bet it has seen entirely too much action

[Dolomite_supafly]

I would shoot it.

[Chris]

I would stand 20 yards away and watch you shoot it.

[glowdotGlock]

Damn...

So I am guessing the cartridge would go in the "cylinder" like a revolver and line up with the (most likely un-rifled) barrel and into the kaleidoscope silencer with that sweet ass drill handle vertical grip? I would almost pay to see this thing in action. Edited February 12, 2015 by glowdotGlock

Think? I'm betting that is more like a .375h&hmag or a nitro express

[raildog]

Well some things are just a feet of engineering

More likely .308 or 7.62x38. Heavy safari rounds are harder to come by over there than you might think... you have to go into heavily secured gun stores and present id. However, there's a crap ton of military surplus floating around. It'd be pretty trivial for a poacher to buy ammo off a soldier or the "police". One other note: the rhino that are left these days are pretty docile. Black rhino are very aggressive, but they are almost gone. The white rhino I've been around are about as aggressive as domestic cattle... pretty sure the poachers can get very close... they don't need to be terribly accurate.

I have a Browning Safari Grade in 375 H&H mag that I am not that big fan of shooting. I would HATE to shoot a 375 handgun. :stunned:

Interesting though in that where there is a will there is a way...

I would add. 10 more yards and watch you watch him shoot it

This is a gun a good friend made. It is 38/357 and he said it is really accurate. I recently threaded the barrel for him and it is a very basic setup that would be super easy to build.

That didn't turn out to bad Dolo, kind of an interesting project to my thinking. As to the Rhino gun as wonky as it look's that was some pretty good out of the box thinking there. A lean towards it being in a .30 caliber NATO or Soviet chambering myself.  

Buck 1032 if a .375 H&H is uncomfortable to shoot then its the stock design, that cartridge just gives a firm push that isn't too bad. But it is a bit pricy to shoot.

[CommsNBombs]

Id shoot it.
Half the Chicom/Soviet crap I played with before it got controlled det'ed down in Florida was WAY sketchier.
Fired a PKM that litterally had a turd in the barrel...that smelt great.

No Tac rail, Ill pass.

Don't need one.  See all those flat spots?  You just tack-weld your accessories directly on to the gun.  :pleased:
