s&w 500 magnum > desert eagle

actually i watched a show proving the s&w 500 was the most powerful handgun, including handguns chambered for rifle rounds. The short barreled one is being advertised as a gun for protection against bears.

Handguns chambered for rifle rounds are not nearly as powerful due to barrel length. Most of the power burns off after the round has already left the weapon.

the handguns chambered for rifle rounds came in behind the s&w 500 by quite a bit but were still better than the other normal handguns they tested including the desert eagle.
 
If you want a powerful gun I would get the Taurus 454 Raging Bull. It is cheaper and just as powerful.

You ever priced MP5s?

$12-15K

Not the knock off semi auto kits.
But then, that aint an MP5.

I'd almost get down on my knees to have an MP5.
Course, I'd have to get down on my knees to afford it.

Only if you shave too.
And bring 10k.
In small unmarked bills.
And no one ever knows this happened.

😱

That was Shooting USA on OLN. I saw it too. 😉

I wouldn't mind owning the 4" version.

"Smith says the 500 magnum 12 inch is capable of taking any game that walks on the planet with the right choice of cartridge"😀
 
A guy a work bought a s&w 500 mag.

It's useless except for sh!ts and giggles.



Desert Eagles aren't bad for those competitions where you have to clear the bowling pins off the table, but other than that:roll:

I'd rather have a .44 automag
 
someone told me that firing a .50 DE one-handed will break your wrist. any truth to that?

also that its the standard sidearm for the israeli defense force.
 
well if the rumors are true about most ppl in this forum (that being small weak nerdy types), then that weapon would break alot of wrists and then sum. 😀

Bullet Tooth Tony:
So, you are obviously the big dick.
The men on the side of ya are your balls.
There are two types of balls.
There are big brave balls, and there are little mincey f*ggot balls.
Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever.
They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action.
And you thought you smelled some good old pussy,
And have brought your two small mincey
F*ggot balls along for a good old time.
But you've got your parties mangled up.
There's no pussy here,
Just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman.
Like a prick, you are having second thoughts.
You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with ya.
The fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your gun.
And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point
five O" written on the side of mine,
Should precipitate your balls into shrinking,
Along with your presence.
Now... F*ck off.

Has to be one of my favorite scenes in a movie.

sidearms arent very popular in the IDF, most just have M16s... even elite units...

also they are gonna be switching to the Tavor (TAR-21) from the M16 within a year...

Personally, I'd rather have an FN F2000 😛

obligatory cool thing
