.50 Cal Glock?

[BE4TNUT]

So I stumbled across this in my travels and thought I would post it up here for some discussion. What do you guys think? Ever seen this before?

Ya id pull the trigger on that with about 300 ft. of string.......

 

[Flannel-moose]

seems like a win but i see your .50 gi and raise you

 

[whatluck]

I don't see what this round does that 10mm doesn't do better.

Be large?

No really, that's all I can think of.

 

[BE4TNUT]

Yeah, probably just makes a slightly bigger hole.

+1 on what is it going to do that 10MM or .45 ACP doesn't do better

10MM 165 gr (10.7 g) Golden Saber HP 1,425 ft/s (434 m/s) 744 ft·lbf (1,009 J)

45ACP 185 GR Bonded Defense 1,225 ft/s (373 m/s) 616 ft·lbf (835 J)



185gr in 50GI is about 1200 ft/sec velocity and about 600 foot pounds force

When they can find a way to shoot .500S&W out of it without the Glock receiver melting let me know.

If ammo was available, might be good for bowling pins.

It causes you to lose ammunition capacity, and burns a hole in your wallet, because the cartridge is proprietary.

SO a 50 "GI" is a new caliber? What are the ballistics on this new 50 GI caliber? and it seems that they are the ONLY ones that make the 50 caliber "GI" SO.....I see this is easy accessibility for buying the "50 GI" ammo is OUT and going to be very expensive.





Edit:...just struck me that this is the same company that makes the Model 1,2, and 3 1911 that also shoots this 50GI round. Just remembered and did not recognize the name at first. I knew it as Maricopa Tactical.

Just slipped my mind for a second...disregard my post above the EDIT. Thanks.

Here is a link to the caliber... http://www.guncrafterindustries.com/50gi-chp.shtml

It's proprietary to Guncrafter Industries at the moment.

For ballistics:

[appraiser]

The ballistics as far as velocity and force are less than 10mm or 45ACP from what I saw and posted above but more than .40 "Short & Weak"

if you think 10mm, .380, or .357sig is hard to find or pricey, wait till you see what that ammo is going to cost you to buy, make, or reload.

One more solution looking for a problem to solve!

Or an answer to a question nobody asked. However you put it....

That expansion looks incredible. Too bad each round is turned on a lathe. I bet it is as expensive as it is incredible.
