I'd be afraid to shoot this thing. The .50 BMG is the 50 caliber rifle round, compared to the .50AE handgun round from the Desert Eagle.

I followed link on that site and found a video of a chick firing another BMG pistol:

I'm surprised, I thought these were just for show adn you couldn't really fire it, considering the round is 10 to 12 times more powerfull than 44 magnum.

That looked more like a .44mag they shot.

Wow I can't imagine the kick that thing would have.

New definition of 'hand canon' no doubt

yea maybe you're right. I think you could not fire a BMG pistol. so these guns are just for show/novelty.

that vid was stupid

That vid sucks hard but the gun in the pics is fuckin awsome.

The kick isn't so bad, and it's not supposed to be. See that black rod looking thing under the gun? That's a hydraulic recoil reducer, and it's the real point of that project. It's a showcase to try to show it's effectiveness, that even a .50bmg is shootable in a handgun using one of those.
