Smith & Wesson Backpack Cannon .460 XVR

Not one day after I said that less than 150 people have been killed by bears in the wild, Smith and Wesson releases the Backpack Cannon.  The caliber is .460 and the revolver can hold 5 rounds.  It is equipped with a shock absorber in the rear of the handle to help the shooter with the recoil.
S&W Performance Center has released the Backpack Cannon at the largest gun show on earth in Las Vegas called "SHOT Show."  The hand cannon features high visibility sights and a 3 inch barrel.  Many who were allowed to fire this weapon at a range in Nevada this week describe the experience as "manageable" and "surprisingly comfortable to shoot."




The Backpack Cannon will also shoot .454 Casull rounds as well as .45 Long Colt Ammo.  The revolver runs around $1200.00 and I'm sure there will be a wait to purchase one of these beauties. I will follow the news releases and report back when I hear more but as of now, that's the story.   Right now they are calling it a very accurate hunting gun with a synthetic stock.
