This IS the largest revolver in the world according to the Guiness Book of World Records.

I haven't seen anything about it searching the forums, and its been a long day at work. Considered putting it in Revolvers and Semi-auto's, but then, this isn't really anything anyone is going to carry.

http://news.softpedia.com/newsPDF/The-Largest-and-the-Smallest-Revolvers-in-the-World-67652.pdf

Link below is a better picture:

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/duel-this/worlds-largest-revolver-makes-you-a-big-gun-283201.php

This revolver is 4 feet long and weighs almost 100 pounds. Caliber 1.10 inches. Bullet weight is 1/4 lb.

Where is the cut-off point for referring to something as a cannon rather than a gun? Seems as though this might fit the bill. Enjoy.

Yes, but how does it rank for stopping power? I need to see gel test data before I think of carrying that.

Where can I get an IWB holster for it?

Don't even think of carrying it without a speedloader full of reloads.

Somehow it appears this gentlemen should be very concerned about imminent GBH here.

Can you claim self-defense against your own gun? Because if he were to pull the trigger here his head may separate from his shoulders.

My favorite bit from that site:

If only Crocodile Dundee were still making movies to see it.
"Watch out, he's got a gun!"
"That ain't a gun. This is a gun."
"What are you talking about, that's just a knife! And they suck against guns!"

Since it's a muzzle loader and uses an antique form of ignition it's not a Destructive Device, which it would be if it was a cartridge weapon.
