Not that it's the only reason I'm not buying it.

And no you can't pay me to shoot it.

Post by: billt on November 29, 2009, 12:18:42 PM: The whole issue with any type of .50 BMG pistol is barrel length. The .50 BMG cartridge uses very slow burning powders that require very long barrels to burn in, and initiate with that slow burn process, high velocity. This simply cannot happen in a 12" or 14" handgun barrel.

I learned my lesson with my Magnum Research BFR .45-70 handgun. The gun is very well made, but cannot produce acceptable velocities with factory ammunition. After much handloading I've come up with good loads, but it isn't something the average shooter would want to tackle from a ballistic standpoint. These guns are fun, make no mistake about it. They just are not the type of weapon you buy, along with a box of ammo, and run off to the range with expecting good results. You are definitely sailing into uncharted waters with these type of firearms! Bill T.

Post by: MikeBjerum on November 29, 2009, 12:56:02 PM: Two questions:

#1. What would you ever do with it ... Not that that has ever stopped me from buying a gun or at least drooling over one and dreaming;

#2. With all that powder and that short barrel, is there a flame thrower warning stamped on the barrel somewhere?

All I can picture is a recoil motion similar to a break dancer on steroids and flames and unburnt powder flying in every direction the muzzle points
