They come from Israel. We used to get them in exchange for all kinds of stuff we sent over there.

Very heavy. 14" barrel, more than a foot and a half long, front to back.

They didn't have any to show me, in Cabela's gun library in Reno, when I asked to see one.

This was the eight-shot .44 version. Takes eight .44 magnum shells. Not what you would call a subtle weapon. The bullet weighs about twice as much as the .38 in a police revolver. It leaves the barrel going way faster than the speed of sound. It hits the target wih more force than anything this side of a train wreck. Not subtle at all.

Ammunition is a problem. You've got a choice. If you load up with a hard-nose bullet, it goes right through the guy you're shooting, and probably right through some other guy a hundred yards away. So you use a soft-nose bullet and it blows a hole out of your guy about the size of a garbage can.

Your choice.

Good for collectors. This would never be a service piece. No police department would authorize the use of a cannon like this on the job.

Way too heavy.
