New meaning to "stopping power"

[MaDuce]

This just came up in another discussion and I realized that I don't recall ever sharing it here. Forgive me if I did and just forgot.

 

This is a funny article about rifle rounds that have ALLOT of stopping power. That is, they knock down both the target AND the shooter. The article is humorously written.

I fired a Weatherby .460 Mag once.

Didn't clinch my teeth. It was like being hit with an uppercut.
