-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I can fire 9 shots in about 4 seconds and stay in the 9 ring of a B-27 silhouette at 10 yards, and slow fire I can neatly remove the X-ring at the same distance...I don't think it would be a bad option against an armored opponent--2 in the body to knock them on their behind, then one more between the eyes to finish things. The only real drawback is the muzzle flash would be a problem in the dark. With the standard 6 inch barrel, the flame is about a foot in diameter and 2-3 feet long with some loads. Now when I attach the 14" barrel with the scope, I can put 5 shots in about 2 inches at 50 yards, and the muzzle flash is greatly reduced due to the increased barrel length. It is definitely on the heavy and bulky side for concealed carry, but I wouldn't agree that it is impractical. - -----Original Message----- From: David Honig [mailto:honig@sprynet.com] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 8:43 PM To: Jonathan Wienke; 'Morris Allen'; cypherpunks@einstein.ssz.com Subject: RE: Automatic's At 11:53 AM 6/7/01 -0700, Jonathan Wienke wrote:

They used I.M.I. Desert Eagles chambered for .50 Action Express. I have one in .44 Magnum, made in Israel, imported by Magnum Research, Inc.
Those are typical Hollywood guns, largely impractical. Cool looking, certainly. Now a Barrett in .50... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOyFa0Rj6oMyeDxZoEQJnwwCfcSW9Uy885ukVnPtmduGtuGJNcnoAoLfQ 9+36TGdjCG/QooJ4FDhHCgos =IbCV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
