Shit, I think that thing needs a forearm stock.

Lovely piece, though. I'd probably prefer that Taurus .22 long-rifle Hornet revolver. Small calibre, but it's a decently powerful rifle case.

Overall though, I'm going to have to admit that Mateba Model 6 Unica sparkes my interest. Semi-automatic revolver? Y-U-M.

IMHO .50 caliber would be of better in a SMG instead of pistols.

Which is completely illegal unless you have 16 (I think) inch long barrel. As to why it's illegal I don't have a clue.

Cannot go wrong with a .22 long-rifle anything.

In the movie Maltaese Falcon(sp?) the only fully automatic revolver made was the murder weapon.

It'd be a bit big for an SMG. Muzzle wear would be a bitch, and you'd need a thick firing pin. Be a bear of a gun. Thompsons are already heavy enough, and they're .45 calibre. Considering a .50 cal is a light anti-materiel rifle, I don't think you'd NEED a .50 SMG, unless you're planning on hunting Hummers. Hey...wait...can I get one of those .50 SMGs? I need one next time I'm driving on I-4.

Souns a bit like the pistols.

Weren't Thompson full-auto machineguns in a .50 calibre, or was it just .45? Whichever it is, it sure is fun to watch it tear up a target to hell with some major holes.

Anywho, you could technically carry a .50 revolver without it being a penis compensator. Just paint the external parts in pink, paint a flower on the grip, and cover the end of the barrel with a Smiley sticker. That way, not only to you need alot of manhood to carry it in the first place, it confuses the fuck out of whomever you have to point it at to defend yourself, and you know when it's been fired if the smiley sticker has been broken!

Does this mean that a Mauser 1896 is illegal in the US?

Grandfathered in... so long as it's old enough of course...

I hope not. My dad owns one.

what's wrong with German broom-handled pistols with complicated actions, anyway?

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thing: I was wondering how far the gun would be flung from my hand trying to fire it (leaving aside the question of it being 4 1/2 pounds.)

If you fired on automatic the weapon would be torn from your hands after dislocating your shoulder and tearing the mussels.

Because like one or two long barreled Civil war pistols, it had an attachable shoulder stock.

Doesn't everyone use a buttstock made from mussels?

I can say with certainty, einy is not having penis envy. Not by a long shot.. ::drool::

I like small guns, myself. Like a Walther PPK. Bond fan, obviously

Tho rifles can be nice, especially blaster rifles..

The Hellsing guns would rip your frigging arms off.

So would the 50mm ones from Stainless Steel Rat, oe Marshal Law.

Connor MacLeod · Post by **Connor MacLeod** » 2003-02-15 12:49am

Don't forget that the Eagle can also be chambered for .440 Cor-Bon I(which is nastier than the .50 AE).

I believe though, that these guns are designed for hunting.

I think we should mail a couple of these to the people that make Resident Evil and sit and hope.

Then again in Marshal Law, you have to have meta human augmentation to use them, and in Stainless Steel Rat, they are gyrojet pistols, with variable warheads.

I still think Jim DiGritz is a bad ass for being able to use one (Or maybe it's his growing up on a High G planet....

2" diameter guns is like 4x the diameter of a .50 caliber, if my math is right. We're talking something more like a grenade launcher or a shotgun.

Depending on the muzzle velocity, I imagine that weapon would have a brutal recoil, augmentation or no.
