HelloJohnnyBlade So a .50 AE isn't going to affect common body armor that well when you shoot it through a DEagle at 10 feet? If you're wearing soft armor and it stops the bullet then enjoy your internal bleeding. smile

Not that the answers actually matter because I hate the pistols that fire .50 AE except the Grizzly LAR and we all know the fifty Grizzly is a rarity.

so a .50ae will be stopped
but...
I dont think a soft vest is going to stop a .454, .460, .500 or similar cartridge
im positive a 10mm will penetrate also
maybe even .357mag
far as handgun rounds go

I agree in that a .50AE round fired from a DEagle will likely be stopped. I must add, however, that anyone who actually advocates using a DEagle in a combat situation should be shot.

Jackie Flores I agree in that a .50AE round fired from a DEagle will likely be stopped.

It's just too massive.

There would be a huge point to a .50AE if there was a versitility of the types of ammunition. If they'd make armor piercing tips.
The point of the .50 AE was to combine two common cartridges .45 and 9mm.
.45 ACP has a nasty tendency to drop at a range.
9mm has the tendency to "bounce" or ricochet off targets.
So put them together you have a cartridge that can travel as far as a 9mm and have the penetration and stopping power of a .45 at point blank.
There's your point. The only problem is...It's really ******** expensive and all tips have to be custom made.

It's why I'd stick with a Grizzly LAR. Really now there are only 3 semi automatic handguns I know of that shoot .50AE and the only one worth while is a Grizzly. How hard can it be to take the HK mk 23 and apply that design to suit .50AE?
