Whats more powerfull than a .44 magnum bullet?

[urbantechie]

I'm not into guns so I wouldn't know . Would a .357 be?

 

[andylawcc]

I thought Magnum has up to .50, or it was the Desert Eagle,

anyway, I am sure some Sniper rifle's round are larger than that.

at .45?

the barret sniper rifle is .50 caliber i think.

 

[yakko]

No a .357 would not be but a .475 would.

 

[urbantechie]

So list some of the standard calibers that are stronger than a .44? I know .45 and .50

 

[SVTPower]

Are you just going to say Pistols or are you going to count Rifles also?

If you count Rifles then you have a BIG list infront of you. if you count Pistols only then the Desert Eagle is more powerful but there isn't much of a "Common" round besides that. Even though you don't see many people with DE's also

The AK47 use 7.something rounds

Ok, so I should only be afraid of people who have rifles when i'm crusing in my BMW 750iL Protection

Gee! How often is that you're gonna have some wacko chasing after you in your BMW 750iL with a rifle?

 

[SVTPower]

It's not just the size of the round, but the powder behind it that matters

Chevarnatzy (Have no clue how you spell his name)... ya know that president (forgot from which country)...

He had a bullet-proof 500SL that was hit by a grannate launcher and still survived.

Gee how often are you going to see a person in Europe Legally carring ANY gun for that matter

I remeber watching a TV show on that. Didn't he have like 3 Mercedes-Benz that got fired at but he never died.

There are actually several handguns that are more powerful then the .44 Magnum. The 454 Casull among them. It is no longer, as Dirty Harry said, &quot;The most powerful handgun in the world.&quot;

What about those big battleship turret-mounted guns? They look pretty powerful.



<< Ok, so I should only be afraid of people who have rifles when i'm crusing in my BMW 750iL Protection >>


I don't think that protection will take the impact of 7.62mm shells at 3500 fps =)

 

[SVTPower]

Yea I know there are definantly other pistols out there that are more powerful, but just not very common. Like I said though I don't see to many people with DE's also

<< I remeber watching a TV show on that. Didn't he have like 3 Mercedes-Benz that got fired at but he never died. >>



yup, the f*cker survived. His driver still managed to get the car to drive another 200 metres. Mercedes donated him another 500SL after that

Crazy, Euros' kick ass!

 

[AvesPKS]

I thought it was Superman...oh, wait, it's 'faster' than a speeding bullet, 'more powerful' than a train...oh, well. ;-)

 

[virtuamike]

How about a potato gun? Spud caliber . . .

Hey you techno weenies, your not handgun enthusiasts are ya'll?

The .44 mag is one of the most powerful handgun cartridges. The .45 is NOT. The .50AE and .454 Casull have more punch. Not to mention old favorites like the .357 and .45LC Then new ones like .357 sig. All have more speed than than the old trusty .45

 

[gregshin]

actually the Ak-47 has been rechambered to 5.45mm instead of the 7.62mm
