Triple Action Thunder

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Triple Action Thunder is a breech-loading, single-shot handgun chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge, developed by the American company Triple Action LLC of Logan, Utah. It used a muzzle brake and a nitrogen recoil-controller system to manage the round's heavy recoil, and was shown as a prototype at the 2004 SHOT Show but never advanced beyond that stage.
