Stumble ThisPeople trying to shoot the .577 T-Rex Rifle.
From the Wikipedia page on the .577 T-Rex round:
"The .577 contains a .585 inch diameter 750-grain (49 g) Monolithic Solid Projectile which when fired moves at 2,460 ft/s (750 m/s) producing 10,180 foot-pounds force (13,800 J) of energy. For comparison the .223 Remington/Nato 5.56mm round used in weapons such as the M16 rifle, when using a 77-grain (5.0 g) projectile, moves at 2,750 ft/s (840 m/s) producing 1,293 foot-pounds force (1,753 J)."

"IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!"
I'd be afraid that huge recoil could break your arm/shoulder, too...
