Best Answer

Desert Eagle.

Well its pretty simple 50. cal same thing with the sniper



The above is an utter fallacy. The US Military has not formally adopted a .50 cal handgun, and most likely will never do so.


The only .50s in service are the Barret .50 cal sniper rifle, the M2 .50 heavy machine gun, and various .50 caliber miniguns used by the Air Force on its combat search and rescue helicopters.


All fire a version of the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) cartridge, a supersonic round several inches long, first adopted before World War 1 and largely unchanged since. If it ain't broke don't fix it...


The "Desert Eagle" fires a different .50 cal round, shorter so that it can fit in the handgrip magazine of a large pistol.
