A UK LEGAL .50 cal revolver

Post by AlanM »

Sounds amazing doesn't it?
WHAT? A revolver that is LEGAL in the United Kingdom?

This thing is advertised as being for self defense. Who the hell are they kidding?

There's a catch (maybe two or more)
1. It's powered by a CO2 cartridge.
2. Muzzle energy is LESS THAN 7.5J That's right seven and a half joules
This is just slightly more than the muzzle energy of a paintball gun.

NOTE: .45 ACP ammo muzzle energy is listed from 483 to over 1000 joules.

I'm curious to see the ballistic gel (or ballistic soup) penetration and hear more about the .50 cal air revolver trajectory in general.

From the website "The aggressive design, broad form and remarkable size are bound to scare any attacker." ...
Yes, that should do it. :roll:
