[edit] .50 BMG?

I have seen a couple spoofed up photoshoppings of .50 BMG handguns, but surely this is inaccurate. The .50 BMG is roughly the size of most barrels in handguns today. That is to say the cartridge is longer than the barrel (4.6") in my .45 ACP GLOCK 21. Can anyone cite a source on those? Avriette 01:57, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That's always a safe bet to make. -Toptomcat 14:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
