The .600 Nitro Express, the second most powerful African big-game rifle cartridge, has around 8,200 ft⋅lbf (11,100 J) of kinetic energy. This makes a 20mm Anzio rifle 5.85 times as powerful as a rifle chambered in .600 Nitro Express. The Anzio 20/50 has approximately 22,000 ft⋅lbf (30,000 J) of kinetic energy with an 800-grain (52 g) bullet.
