Sell your underpowered .50, buy a real gun

SSK .950

The SSK .950′s massive power is matched by its large frame. The lighter models weigh 85 pounds, and most of them have to be fired from a benchrest. It fires rounds at 2,100 feet per second and has 2,777 foot-pounds of recoil energy equal to the power of 10 .30-06 rifle shots, so yeah, firing from a bench seems like a good idea.

2400 grain slug.

$40.00 a round

Check it out. Video

More than a few threads about that beast have already been started.

Wow, this actually holds a candle to the .577 Tyrannosaur

750 gr (49 g)Bullet

2,480 ft/s (760 m/s) Velocity

10,240 ft·lbf of energy

Now the question is, who wants to make one of these into a SBR?

I've got my eye on one of those FN Fiveseven 28mm pistols.

LOL! You think it "holds a candle" to the 577?
Yeah the two are not anywhere even close. The 950 is WAY bigger and crazier. I attached a pic of a .577 tyrannosaur next to a .950 JDJ from my collection.

Gents.....

Allow me to be the straight man to you guys' metric system conversion/confusion in-jokes. Just for laughs, the ballistics of your wonder-Glock might look something like this.....

According to the Wikipedia, the 40mm x 311R shell fired from a Bofors 40mm L/70 autocannon achieves

warhead weight: 13889 gr (900 grams)
muzzle velocity: 3350 ft/s (1021 m/s)
muzzle energy: 346069 ft-lb
maximum range: 41000 ft (12500 m)

I will also point out that, in its usual AA role, the "bullet" would most likely be a proximity-fused HE warhead.

Nice Glock, albeit crew-served!
