Yes, that's a .50 BMG powerhead.
And I do want.

lol @ .12 GA.

Wow!

Don't think I'd want that on anything less than a 5 foot poll. The shock of the round going off along with the recoil of a .50 caliber round would be as potentially lethal to the person holding this as whatever he or she was trying to fight with it.

Not a smart thing to do. I'd be happier with the .357 or the .44 magnum.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "boomstick".

Hum, this must be one of those "bad ideas" I'd heard so much about.

Good Idea;
A rifle that uses the entire barrel to absorb it's recoil by making it slide back and forth.

Bad Idea;
Turning a small rod into a .50 cal hole punch.

They once made a single-shot pistol that did that. The entire barrel and action were on a rail, and firing it rolled the entire weight pistol back on hydraulic shock absorbers; the trigger, guard, and grip were the only things that didn't move. They chambered it in .50BMG, and it was reviewed by a svelte woman who said she found its recoil "manageable". It was called the Triple Action Thunder, and it is pure badass.

Thank you. I was trying to think of what it was called for some time now.

No, that's just recoil operation system. Ober was talking about the Barrett system.
