I’m glad he got this one:
Me getting ready to fire the 57mm Recoilless Rifle. The thing was HEAVY and wobbled like hell because of the leverage on either side. Out of respect for out hosts and owner Wally’s pocket book the round fired was actually a .30-06 cartridge out of an adapter. It indeed was recoilless, but the back-blast was still very impressive despite the comparatively diminutive .30-06 round. Also because such a small bullet was flying down such a huge barrel it struck a harmonic and the whole tube hummed for a few seconds after the shot was fired.
The funniest thing is when Wally said he was shopping for 57mm ammo, I thought he meant 5.7mm
Tho there was a FNH FiveSeveN and I won’t lie, as much as I wanted to think it was a hinkey plastic gun with an oddball and expensive cartridge, it was a wicked hoot to shoot. Accurate, light, low-recoil, a decent trigger, and LOTS of capacity.
That being said, if our Gun Roster gets lifted, I think I’d opt for one of these instead.
Lol, that thing is huge [that is what she said].
I have found some 57mm ammo in south america. But with the size of those rounds, it will require a few *stout* mules to smuggle them in…

Or, you know, just WALK across.
Get a good suntan and practice your Spanish, maybe wear a cross around your neck and the border patrol will leave you alone.
