.50 cal isn't really that amazing when you consider that old time muskets shot a .50 cal ball of lead. As far as I'm concerned anything that shoots .50cal is outdated technology:lol:.

C'mon guys, enough joking. If this is a site for firearms enthusiasts, it's time we learned what our calibers are capable of.

Here's a little diagram for the caliber noobs:

I'd like to see the custom gold-plated bling bling Desert Eagle that thing goes in! It mush have to be hauled around in a C130.

"The Desert Eagle pistol can "blow a hole the size of a Mack truck through a person," said Leigh Winchell, regional chief of Immigration and Customs Enforcement."

Then obviously that is one awfully stupid chief of ICE...

but then again--you can't fix stupid--and this government has plenty of stupidity to spare...

I am thinking of buying this for my next "toy".

It is a 64 caliber.

That's 14 caliber more than a 50 caliber.

I should be able to knock down buildings with this firearm.

This guy reminds me of a little girl. No, really, I'm not just trying to be insulting...

Everyone with a little sister knows what I'm talking about. You have 'the line' in the back seat of the car, she crosses over it, you push her, she acts like you just beat her in the face with a baseball bat when all you did was give a nudge...

That's this ICE guy. Sarcastic over-reaction to imply that something huge and terrible happened, when, in fact, he is the aggressor.
