It implies that the cartridge is more powerful, but it means that the cartridge has "magnum" in its' name. It is more of a marketing tool than a factual one.
A magnum cartridge is one where the case has been elongated to provide more room for powder, thus more power. The diameter of the bullett will be the same, or close enough, but the extra length increases the combustion. Usually, the cases have thicker walls to control the higher pressure explosion. Also, the cylinders and barrels of the corresponding weapon may me beefed up also to handle the added pressure and velocity.
It's 12.7mm. Calibre is 1/100th of an inch. So, a "50 Calibre" gun, which is what a Desert Eagle is and on paper would read ".50cal", after the conversion to mm, which is 25.4mm to 1", would be 12.7mm.
It's not. It has its niche, and there are applications where another calibre would be more desirable.
The magnum .55 is the most powerful, but some Desert Eagle has the highest calibre bullet.
What calibre Desert Eagle did you have in mind? The Desert Eagle came in .357 Magnum, but was also available in several considerably more powerful calibres, including .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .440 Cor-Bon, and .50 Action Express.
When they say what is a type of gun is a 460--I'm assuming what they are really asking about is the Wetherby 460 Magnum which is a proprietary belted magnum big/dangerous game rifle cartridge made by Weatherby (the gun manufacturer) for their proprietary hunting rifle of the same calibre.
In wine bottle nomenclature (measurements) a magnum is equal to 2 regular size bottles.
Magnum lifestyle is when you wear condoms for sex. SAVE sex. ;)
Not the rimfires (.22 Short, .22 Long, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum), but centrefire cartridges in the same calibre range (.22-250, .222 Remington, .223 Remington Magnum, .223 Remington, etc.) can be sufficient for coyote.
As long as both the rifle and the revolver are chambered in .44 magnum you can use the same ammunition for both. I have a Henry rifle in .44 mag and a Ruger redhawk .44 mag and I use the same ammo for both. That's one of the nice things about that caliber.
95 is the highest calibre for a bullet
Calibre One was created in 1999.
The Desert Eagle feeds from detachable box magazines - it does not use clips. Magazine capacity varies by calibre. The .50 Action Express and .440 Cor-Bon models use seven round magazines. The .44 Magnum and .41 Magnum models use eight round magazines. The .357 Magnum model has a nine round magazine.
