.950 JDJ Cannon Round: 700 Nitro Express, Eat Your Heart Out

Found this when looking for "300 Whisper" on Google while talking to Shep on AIM...

Take a look at the upper right pic. That rifle round is a .50 BMG. Which means the short fat fella to its left is very nearly an INCH in diameter!! Cannon rounds start at 20mm caliber, so at 24.13mm, this 950JDJ very easily qualifies. I don't even want to try to imagine the recoil on that beastie, especially since it's meant to be used in a rifle carried by a single person.

And besides, What the HELL would you go after with such a monster?! APCs?

Nothing real special. The Japanese tried to pass of an 84 pound 20mm automatic cannon as an anti tank rifle. Though with optional cradle and gun shield it was more like 150 pounds.
