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."

Thank Dog for S&W. I collect and shoot firearms. I foresee in the future me owning one of those.

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

OOOOHHHH nice. I haven't seen that reported in any of my gun mags lately. 500 S&W, ey? I personally like the .40 S&W, a nice compromise between weight, stopping power, and size.
I'm gonna have to shoot one of those babies.

Now that is what I call penis envy! And a big badass gun. Heh. Though I'd prefer a good .45 ACP myself.

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.

The perfect accessory for the man who has penis envy.

I thought the Desert Eagle was .50 calibre?

It can easily be rechambered to .50, yes, but AFAIK you can't get an "off the shelf" .50 Desert Eagle.

What does that say about the man who only carries derringers?

He wouldn't need a one then. He could beat you to death with his dick.

Just what the world needs-- a crew-served handgun.

For the Trigun you're in luck, except for the Angel Arm firing mode. Hellsing forget it, 13mm handguns are illegal to make in the USA. Smaller caliber versions may be possible.

That's not much different from a .50 calibre. Only .3mm difference. WTF?

Beats me.
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

I want that gun, if only to shot the stereo downstairs when it goes off in the morning.

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.

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.
