I want to see that AR-15 she was talking about. As heavy as 10 moving boxes and chambered for .50 cal. That would be something to behold.


It's designed for breaching barriers like windshields and there are frangible loads that won't pass through more than a couple walls. Pretty much made for check points.

Even the part that StA invokes, the beta male mating strategy Beto O'Rourke effect?

That was around in the 19th century too, the Temperance Ladies leveraged that from the beginning.

Beowulf is actually a revolver cartridge tho, adapted from the S&W 500 Magnum.

Didn't know that. Apparently it's shimmied on top of a 7.62*39 rim so you can just use a 7.62 bolt

S&W 500 Magnum is 12.7 x 41mm.

Beowulf is 12.7 x 42mm

Beowulf has a higher muzzle velocity, 1800 fps, S&W 500 is only 1425 fps.

Well that's really good for a pistol round anyway. 10mm is only 1250 fps.

.357 magnum will go through a windshield, go through an engine block too.

S&W 686 gets the job done, yet is more versatile.

.50 Beowulf is not likely to disable a vehicle any quicker than a .357 magnum.

If you want instant disable, that's probably going to require 12.7 x 99mm

Friend of mine just picked up a 454 for a good deal. Still hasn't found any rounds for it. I should pick him some up next time I go to a gun show.

Obviously a sizeable downgrade from the GT-R, but I've been having fun with this FR-S

It's a tight whip for the buck.

GT-R was a heat score anyways, fuckin' cop magnet.

I would have got the suburu version just because. Those are sick little cars I heard.
