I would have to say....A 155mm howitzer round, necked down to 1mm...it makes a lot of noise, is wildly popular with the uninformed, immediately blows up when exiting the barrel...the downside to it is....you have to rely on the middle class to carry it for ya..........though, poor folks just love the sound it makes........

I woulda thunk all that aimless energy would blow up the weapon before it got out the barrel.

Me too...however the last year and 8 months proves different....although, significant throat erosion has been noted...and re-barreling is scheduled this November...the recoil is still manageable....
