The arms race for the most biggest, baddest and most rediculous handgun never seems to end. From our German friends comes this .50 BMG "pistol". It's a bolt action, 24 inches long, weighs 16lb, and has 2 grips. But it's a uh, pistol. :D

Created no doubt by a skilled orthopedic surgeon with room to increase his practice. Specializes in shoulder afflictions probably. ;)
 
A couple of more too??? I kind of like that 2nd, Buck Rogers style one.

But with .50 as the maximum caliber for conventional civilian distribution, these guys may not be able to one-up things anymore... I guess they'll need to make them smaller and lighter next - hmmm, how about a .50BMG lightweight snubnose?
 
Wouldn't the forward handgrip make it an "assault weapon"?

I don't see them letting that one be imported any time soon.
 
Without those HUGE, goofy-looking Buck Rogers compensators [no pun intended ;)] those things would be impossible to shoot! I recoil at the thought of shooting one


Does that Waffentechnik "gun" have a name? Wie heißen sie?
 
I want one too. I wonder if my health insurance would cover any wrist damage that might occur from shooting it.
 
This is in the same ridiculous category as the Derringer chambered for .45-70.
The fellow who shot it showed me the damage done to his hands -- not good.

I just hope that this isn't used as an excuse to ban cheap .50 cal AP ammo.

That was my first thought too. The hand grip was second. Third was, I have just the range in mind where I want to shoot it and exactly who I can annoy with it while doing so. :D
 
Just what Super Dave needs for CCW considering all his questions about bullets penetrating car doors, windshields, plywood, etc! :D:D:D

Maybe in a couple states. But more importantly, it is probably an Any Other Weapon under Federal NFA law because of the forward grip.
