These were intended to not simply kill a dangerous animal, but to stop it immediately in a charge, which might require shooting through thick bone or horn protection. For that purpose, the 4-bore could have some value &#8211; assuming you had an assistant to carry it when danger was not imminent!<\/p>\n<p>However, there have been a number of gunsmiths who have built 2-bore rifles, like this example named &#8220;Double Deuce&#8221; by its maker, Stolzer &#038; Son of Kansas. At 44 pounds, this behemoth is definitely too heavy for practical use, but it sure is an impressively huge piece of work! It fires a 1.33&#8243; (33.8mm) ball weighing 3500gr (227g) at about 1250fps (380 m\/s)&#8230;if you can hold it on target long enough to get an accurate shot.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out Stolzer&#8217;s YouTube channel here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/cstolzer338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/cstolzer338<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sold for: Double Deuce rifle: $6,900 Lil&#8217; Deuce pistol: $4,313 The largest sporting rifles ever actually used in the field as more than an exhibition were 4-bore stopping rifles, firing roughly 1&#8243; in diameter (25mm) projectiles.
