Big Guns
Inspired by Steve H's post, I've been doing a little research this morning into the Desert Eagle...the original .50 handgun...and found these video clips. I especially recommend the "Shattermelons" clip, though be warned the clips in Quicktime format are a bit slow to download.
My ex-bro-in-law had a .50 Desert Eagle, though I never had the balls to shoot it. If you'll watch the clip "Big Gun, Big Fun" you'll see why....while the cute little college girls shot without visibly breaking their wrists, watch the end of the barrel waver while they're aiming. I suspect there's a reason why the clip didn't include a shot of their targets.
While the .50 would be great fun to piss off the anti-Jew and/or gun hating crowd, I think I'll stick to something a little more reasonable...like the .44 Desert Eagle. I've been considering buying something with a bit more power than the .40 or .357 that I currently own, and the Desert Eagle fits with my new resolution to support Israeli-made products and businesses that support Israel....an great idea I got from Andrea Harris, who also has a handy link to a list of those products & businesses.
So while I'm sure I could find a less expensive handgun that would meet my needs, I also know that the Desert Eagle is a well-made product...and, like Steve H, if it costs a little more to thumb my nose at the Jew-haters of the world, I'll consider it money well spent.
