Strongest Rifle?

[Fresnel]

A rifle has rifling, a cannon is smooth.

The M1 Abrams uses a smooth bore cannon.

So the Challenger 2 tank has a 120mm rifle on it then, does it?  

[The Drildo]

This isn't the strongest, most likely, but it's funny.

Correct.

Then Dora was the most powerful rifle ever created.

Unless you know of a rifle larger than 800mm with shells heavier than eight tons?  

[Man of the Demoneye]

If Dora is the answer, then I actually got something right (almost) for once?

But wait, if I shot slugs out of a 20 ga. bolt action shotgun (smoothbore) could it then be called a cannon? There is technically no actual shot present.

and what about the ye olde muskets that had no rifling?

Different Classification of weapons. Bore isn't the only thing considerd in classing a fire arm.

Figured as much. Oh well, I guess it was worth a shot.

Ya, we have kinda been nit picking at the idea of a rifle for a bit huh?

In that form of rifle, correct.

But man portable, it'd be something like that 20mm anzio ironworks one.

I have another contender along that vein.

Quote:

The .600 Overkill was designed by Robert Garnick of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was intended to be the largest bullet that was able to fit in the CZ550, and was designed specifically for the purpose of elephant hunting. The CZ550 is able to fit 2 cartridges, with slight alterations. With solid brass bullets, the .600 overkill is able to penetrate 6 feet (1.8 m) into solid oak.

The .600 Overkill has the ability to fire a 900-grain (58 g) bullet at more than 2,400 ft/s (730 m/s), At this level of power, as the bullet spins down the barrel, the rifle is torqued in the opposite direction, often twisting the rifle out of the shooter's hand. Recoil in standard-weight hunting rifles (10 lbs. or less) is far beyond what most shooters will tolerate.

As a note, the CZ550 has a 5-round magazine in 9.3mm. The fact that it takes alterations to fit only TWO is impressive.

Links? Pics? references? Wiki, sorry. All I can find are pictures of CZ550s with huge muzzle brakes.

I define a rifle as "a man-portable, non-mounted weapon, firing single projectiles from either a smoothbore or rifled barrel"

I wasn't aware there was a type of barrel that was neither smooth bore nor rifled.
