It’s being called the “Backpack Cannon” — and for good reason.

Last Monday, Smith & Wesson unveiled its new .460-caliber revolver at the annual SHOT show in Las Vegas.

Smith & Wesson unveiled the “Backpack Cannon” last week.

The five-shooter, which features a three-inch barrel, high-visibility sights and a synthetic stock with a shock absorber on the end of the handle, was touted by the major gun manufacturer as an ideal gun for placing in one’s backpack while embarking on outdoor adventures, according to KRMG.

“It’s a very comfortable gun to shoot”

“It’s a very comfortable gun to shoot,” Paul Pluff, the company’s director of marketing services, said in an interview with Military.com. “A great gun for a back-up gun in the backcountry or even for hunting if you’re going after some pigs or hogs or anything like that.”

The firearm, retailing for $1,200, can also fire Casull .454 rounds and .45 Long Colt ammo, KRMG reported.

It will reportedly be marketed to civilians and law enforcement.

Man, that is one monster of a handgun! Can you imagine the recoil of that big boy with that short barrel? Well, since I'm a long gun person, I'll probably never get a chance to fire this one unless a friend buys one and wants a laugh and lets me fire a round or two. LOL!

I've talked to full grown LARGE men that have fired the 460 and 500 caliber pistols . One of them went to the hospital to have his wrist checked for a bad sprain . Put those calibers in ....... say a Model 94 Winchester ....... now you have a kick$ss bear gun !!!!!!

Really? 3" barrel?
Damn!! I have a desert eagle, but I would wager this beast would relocate my "hand bones" !!
I like it though....
