.50 BMG vs. 9mm vs....

[azredhawk44]

a pointy stick.

Which is best?:)

(Dons flame proof, bullet proof, stick proof clothing)...

12" all the really big guns are in the navy.:)

9mm


obviously!

Follow up shots with the 50BMG are way slower out of a pistol.

:D :D Which one would you want to sleep with at home for home protction and which one can you carry in a holster?:eek:

25

I resemble that comment Freudmom.

Is it taped to the 9mm or the 50bmg?

[azredhawk44]

I think the order they are taped together is:

stick => .50BMG => 9mm.

I like the 16"-45's on the old WWII battleships. They may be slow, but they have tremendous knockdown power.

Let's see here. 2000lb shell traveling at, we'll say, 2500fps. Gives you 194,271,758 ft-lbs of energy. I think that out-does the 9MM and the 50BMG.

You know, I see all of these "Pointy Stick" threads, and it sickens me that everyone misses the obvious! A big rock (slow and heavy) beats a pointy stick (fast and light) everytime! Duh... :rolleyes:

A big rock (slow and heavy) beats a pointy stick (fast and light) everytime!

William Wallace: "I was wondering if you could do that when it matters."
Hamish: .......
William Wallace: "As it matters in battle. Could you crush a man with that throw?"
Hamish: "Ah could crush you... like a worm!"

IT was taken at a range and the guy shooting was a real BIG guy.
WHen he touched it off the gun dissapeared from his hands and all I can say is I'm not to sure which went faster, The bullet down range or the gun several inches past his head.
Lets face it, the 50 bmg can do anything:cool:
BUT as a hand gun it has its limitation (me having enough guts to pull the trigger):barf:

[stratus]

what caliber pointy stick are we talking, here?

[Hal]

None of the above.

Flamethrower & well placed Claymores would make a home invasion,,, interesting for all concerned...

Honestly, I've thought it would make a good "priceless" commercial...
Bad guy somes up the stairs:
Deadbolt = $9.99
Guard Dog = $25.00 from local shelter.
Flamethrower = $4,000.00 (or whatever")

Look on bad guys face as he knew he was about to be deep fried = priceless.

[Ozzieman]

Picture of bad guy that broke into house being taken out in a KC fried chicken bucket.
YEP priceless.
How do you explane house damage to insurance company?
So I guess the flame thrower isnt purfect!

[Lycanthrope]

The first wave is fended off by my squad of trained zombies.

After that, it's the .50 with the muzzle sharpened into a "pointy stick".

[Pistolenschutze]

I'm waiting until Glock chambers the .50 BMG in one of their sub-compact models. Maybe call it the Glock 50, or the Glock Ma Deuce ? That does have sort of a ring to it, don't ya think? I wonder if Pearce will make mag extensions for it. Maybe they'll produce a fully automatic version of it, like the G18. :D :p :rolleyes:

[almark]

I was wrong about the heavy rock... what everyone REALLY needs is a trained Pocket Attack Badger™!

[stratus]

What about a .45-70 wheelgun? Does a pointy stick beat that?
