You lack imagination.
Leave it to the AmeriCANS.

Sorry again, what I should have said was we can't cram 12.7x99mm into a handgun for you, with any practical tactical application, we were under the mistaken impression that you wanted this gun for a gunfight, our bad.

If you would like to gunfight with 12.7x99mm, we would of course recommend a long gun, perhaps the Barrett M95 Bullpup?

If people believe in the intimidation power of racking a shotgun, I have to think a .50cal BMG round striking anywhere within 3 meters of you would induce exponentially more panic. Maybe it's only a 1-shot pistol, but if that shot is anywhere close it may be Game Over as far as your opponent is concerned. Imagine the chunk of wall it would knock out next to you. Mwhahahaha

Very good, sir, however, if your opponent Mozambique Drills you with 9x19mm while you hand load single shots, we of course wash our hands of the liability.

No worries, if the initial shot doesn't do the trick the hand cannon can be dropped in favor of the lightweight Springfield XD subcompact.

Sixteen 9mm rounds in the palm of your hand.
Probably a good thing since your little mitts might still be numb from firing the Thunder.

Still have to draw twice, CQB back against the wall? No thanks, very likely could come down to one draw for all the marbles.

If that's the case a single draw of .50cal BMG is a hell of a pick.

Meh, if you're going primary-secondary-tertiary, with time and space, we would recommend opening with the SCAR 17 Battle Rifle, then falling back on your sidearm, then you're drop piece on the ankle.

The lengths you'll go to in order not to appreciate a cool piece of niche technology.
Your commitment is remarkable.

Ain't nothin' cooler than the SCAR 17, son, Battle Rifle Uber Alles, where I come from.
