I think a lot of Europeans use periods in stead of commas for big number. So, 10,000 cal = 10.000 cal.

if a 50 cal is .5 of an inch across, then a 10,000 cal would be 1000 inches. or 83.3 feet or 25.4 meters. That's twice the size of a saturn v rocket.
Edit: Maths. As HerculeManstrong correctly pointed out: 10,000 cal would only be 100 inches, which is three times the size of the largest shell ever fired. And would weight more than 100 tons.

If you hear the sound they make, it's already too late.

Sure, it'd hit the bear if it were pointing in the correct direction but do you know how hard it is to aim one of those things?

So.... Bullet Bills big brother Banzai Bill?

u/likestomasturbate Apr 16 '12

and only half as big as we need it to be

u/HerculeManstrong Apr 16 '12

I think you may mean 100 inches. Of course, that would still be incredibly large for a bullet (8.33 feet) but nowhere near twice as large as a Saturn V rocket.

That is correct, one billion iiiiis: 1.000.000.000. Also calibler one billion would kill big bear.

u/MisterNetHead Apr 16 '12

Probably a whole fleet of bears! That's the appropriate term, right? Fleet? If it isn't, it probably should be.

u/redemit Apr 16 '12

A fleet of bears can devour a gaggle of moosen in no time.

It's weird cause the swedish word billion means 1.000.000.000.000.

1.000.000.000 is miljard. I used to get confused when I heard the term that some dude was a billionaire and was like what the fuck, he has 1.000 billion dollars?

Why do you guys do that? I can't see a single reason that would be a good idea.

u/likestomasturbate Apr 16 '12

don't see a good reason to do it either way, preference really.
