Interesting, Ben. I'd not heard of Jon Bianchi before. It's quite a life he lived.

Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Revolver is the largest caliber handgun in the world, and the most powerful. This handgun is so huge that its .600 Nitro Express rounds are actually British-made rifle bullets.
Here's some data:
- weighs over 13 pounds
- each .600 Nitro Express bullet costs nearly $40
- was developed by a Swiss gun nut named Zeliska, who wanted a handgun that could chamber big game hunting rounds
