Gun-bunnies rejoice!
Smith and Wesson now makes a .50 magnum, which can be seen here. Perfect for those of you who play roleplaying games and insist on carrying around the absolute biggest gun you can get your hands on. Also good for those of you who like to do this in real life to make up for, errr, "shortcomings."

Feh! I'm waiting for the day they make real working models of the guns from Trigun and Hellsing.

Now that is what I call penis envy! And a big badass gun. Heh. Though I'd prefer a good .45 ACP myself.beyond hope wrote:Smith and Wesson now makes a .50 magnum, which can be seen here.

Wow! Another hand gun which can't be accuractly fired by 99.995% of the worlds population accurately.
The only point to .50cal handguns is there ability to crack the engine block on most anything, making disabling a car running your roadblock easier. However a .45 can do that just fine as can many other lesser weapons.

I thought the Desert Eagle was .50 calibre?
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

It can easily be rechambered to .50, yes, but AFAIK you can't get an "off the shelf" .50 Desert Eagle.BlkbrryTheGreat wrote:I thought the Desert Eagle was .50 calibre?

Just what the world needs-- a crew-served handgun.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

That's not much different from a .50 calibre. Only .3mm difference. WTF?Rubberanvil wrote:For the Trigun you're in luck, except for the Angel Arm firing mode.

I was a bit hasty on the hellsing guns. The 13mm is still illegal, the .454 Casull(sp??) handgun is legal.
Closest gun I've seen to the Trigun is the Mateba Model 6 Unica http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Re ... odel_6.htm

Eh, not bad for a show piece. Rather have a baby eagle or a USP. I tend to have a thing for .40's but when in doubt, the 1911 always comes through in a pinch.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yes, you can. Desert Eagle makes their .50 Magnum and you can buy them like that. In fact, there was an advertisement for the DE .357 Mag and .50 Mag a couple months ago on the back page of Guns and Ammo.JediNeophyte wrote:It can easily be rechambered to .50, yes, but AFAIK you can't get an "off the shelf" .50 Desert Eagle.BlkbrryTheGreat wrote:I thought the Desert Eagle was .50 calibre?
