i would like advice on if it is possible to have.

Please

I've shot a sub 12ft.lb 9mm, the trajectory is interesting to say the least.
Because of the ludicrous drop it would have to be FAC
for any sort of target shooting accuracy.
The pellets work out a bit dear as well.

I bought this rifle in about 2001. The twin cylinders hold just under 500 cc. I think you need that much storage to keep form contentiously refilling. It shot about 3 inch groups at 50 yards with pellets or round balls. I cast the round balls form pellet scraps and they weighed 69 gr. The same as the pellets. The round balls drifted less in the wind then the pellets. I recall it had just a little less then 100 foot pounds of energy and gave about 10 good shots.

I shot this rifle in a big bore tournament in Pennsylvania and got a third in the woods walk.

I have had valve problems with this rifle, but it seats the pellet/ball into the rifleing something the single shot Careers don't do.

Here's a topic about shooting .50 cal at a long distance.

i am looking at the dragon claw in 9mm it is the biggest calibre i would go for, for target shooting and i would use it for vermin control how far do you think i can shoot this 9mm and be accurate.

That depends on you and the size of the vermin, but I remember doing pretty well out to 50 yards. Of course this was a dozen years ago and there are better guns and pellets now.
