Gun Descriptions

About The .50 Action Express Ammo is a large caliber cartridge for handguns, best known for chambering in Desert Eagle. The .50 Action Express Ammo was designed and introduced into the markets in 1988 and ever since has been called one of the most powerful handgun cartridges in production. The .50 Action Express Ammo had a rough start in the United States because of the strict laws governing non-sporting firearms. The .50 Action Express Ammo was reduced to .500 inches instead of the original .510 inches to make it legal in the US for use. The bullet, however, retained its power and destructive capabilities regardless. But with great power comes great recoil. The .50 Action Express Ammo has a substantial recoil, making it unsuitable for repetitive shooting sessions. The overall length of the .50 Action Express Ammo is 32.6mm, and the overall bullet diameter measures 12.7mm. The heaviest variant of the .50 Action Express Ammo is the 325-grain bullet load that travels at a velocity of 1,450 feet per second while creating an energy level of 1,517 ft.lbf.  Manufacturer The .50 Action Express Ammo was designed and manufactured by the American Evan Whildin of Action Arms in 1988 in the United States.  Uses Like any other gun of these capabilities, the .50 Action Express Ammo is used for metallic silhouette shooting and hunting down medium to big-sized games.

About The .500 S&W Magnum Ammo is a .50 caliber semi-rimmed revolver bullet created through a partnership between two popular ammunition manufacturers in 2003. It was designed and developed with two primary purposes in mind. The .500 S&W Magnum Ammo should be able to take down any game species in the North American region, and that this bullet should be the most powerful handgun cartridge in history. To say the least, shots taken with the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo feel like a bowling ball traveling at the speed of 70 miles per hour! In commercial sports, the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo is considered the most powerful handgun cartridge in terms of muzzle energy. The overall length of the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo is 58mm, and the bullet diameter measures 12.7mm. The 300-grain bullet is the lightest variant of the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo, which can travel at a velocity of 2,075 feet per second while producing an energy level of 2,868 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The partnership between Cor-Bon and Smith & Wesson to produce the most powerful handgun ammo in 2003 resulted in the design and development of the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo. Uses The power, effective range, and penetration abilities of the .500 S&W Magnum Ammo make it perfect for big game hunting. This bullet can potentially take down any animal on Earth! Mainly, it's used as a backup survival handgun cartridge against large game species because it will always take down the target it hits.
