    There are lots of shows and movies with magic mags that never run out of ammo, or have way more than they should. :p

    Did no one tell you that, in television, everyone's magazines are directly connected to Hammerspace?

    Infinite Ammo cheat activated. Now my Magnum Revolver will be able to fire a million rounds no problem. :D

    Is it too late to claim I'm the very soul of placidity?

    No really, no one's jewels got hurt. It was during self-defense class and the instructor thought my technique was nice.

    That moment when a client surprises you with an unrealistic lead-time for an article
    and you want to say, 'Fuck off,' but you can't because that's totally unprofessional.

    Do t forget that it can also rip through walls and punch holes in engine blocks, and blast bad guys off their feet because ' magnum'. Bonus points if it's a .44 and more if it's a desert eagle automatic.... Although in reality they are worse than useless for accuracy... You'd be better off with a glock in 9mm

    Yeah I know, they are more for looking scary than for being worth a shit in reality. :p

    The desert eagle isn't bad in .357 mag but .44 mag is overpowered for a handgun especially if you are going to want to fire more than one shot.

    I'm a compulsive shot counter as well. My other favorite was in the movie Firefox, with Clint Eastwood, where they forgot to tell the foley artists what those long tubes attached to the muzzles of the guns were for...

    I've got small-ish hands, I can deal with double-stack nines but the 1911 fits me perfectly. Desert Eagles I can't get a firm grip on.

    I have small hands. So it would be a damn cannon for me.
    Though I have never actually shot a pistol, only a .22 and
    30-06 rifles.

    My little brother in-law on the other hand makes a .45 look like a toy.

    Fifty cal is daft in a pistol.

    I've got big hands, but in the uk you can't own hand guns as a civvie. So my handgun shooting all goes to army days and was mostly with the browning hi power nine. Those days they've gone to the sig p320 which is reputable a much better weapon.

    Mind you something has gone seriously wrong if an officer commanding a rifle platoon is depending on sidearms to defend himself. Historically officers carried pistols to off the wounded and as a defence against desertion our Mutiny

    My dad has a shin gunto Type 98 (we think) that the Japanese NCOs used for the same purposes. My grandfather found it on Saipan next to a soldier who didn't need it anymore.

    Isn’t the desert eagle too clumsy to use effectively? It’s fancy, but in a firefight basically useless?

    As far as the Japanese carrying the swords into battle during WWII, I think that was more to do with their culture and history than anything else.

    The suggestion is SFW. What follows if you complete the search is very not.

    oglaf hilting

    I take no responsibility for what you'll find if you type those two words into google together.

    Good luck.

    TMW you can legally buy alcohol for the rest of the week while you’re in Canada, but you quickly realize it’s not all that exciting of a drug. Maybe if it improved your sleep architecture... but even though it helps you fall asleep faster, it impairs REM and seems to cause you to wake up early even at low doses.
