Accuracy International AWM

A bolt action sniper rifle manufactured in Great Britain. It is essentailly a scaled-up 7.62mm AW, rechambered for the .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum, both of which have greater range and flatter trajectory than the 7.62mm. It was recently adopted by the German armed forces.

British Guy #1: I say, old chap, this AW is a fine rifle, but we could make it even better. What say we chamber it in that American .300 Winchester Magnum round?

British Guy #2: Here here!

.50 Action Express

A .50 caliber pistol cartrige that, due to action movies and video games, has recieves more merit and admiration than it deserves. The most popular pistol in .50 AE is the large, intimidating Desert Eagle. In reality, .50 AE weapons are very impractical and overly powerful. The recoil and noise are too much for most shooters, and the large diameter of the round limits the capacity. For example, the .357 Magnum Desert Eagle holds 9 rounds, as opposed to the variant in .50 Action Express which holds 7. Why sacrifice two rounds for a needlessly big bulet, when you could have two more in the proven stopper caliber of .357 Magnum. Think about that next time you see 'Eraser' or 'The Last Action Hero.' The .50 AE is a needless overkill.

I just fired my .50 AE Freedom Arms revolver, and my arm hurts like hell!
