Like the .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, .460 S&W Magnum, and .500 S&W Magnum, it is also well suited for defense against large predators, such as bears. [10] With heavier bullets, such as the TII Armory 400-grain and 460-grain offerings, the .50 AE closely matches the performance of the .480 Ruger and approaches the ballistics of the .500 Linebaugh.
The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, also known as the .22 WMR, .22 Magnum, .22 WMRF, .22 MRF, [2] or .22 Mag, is a rimfire cartridge.Originally loaded with a bullet weight of 40 grains (2.6 g) delivering velocities in the 2,000 feet per second (610 m/s) range from a rifle barrel, .22 WMR is now loaded with bullet weights ranging from 50 grains (3.2 g) at 1,530 feet per second (470 m/s) to 30 ...
It uses a flat-based, inside-lubricated bullet, which differs from the outside-lube heeled bullet of the .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 Long Rifle, and .22 Extra Long cartridges. [ 2 ] When introduced, the .22 WRF "was the first notable improvement in the killing power" over the .22 LR, [ 3 ] and was able to kill cleaner at up to 75 yd (69 m).
There were a number of engineering challenges to overcome in designing an autoloading .22 WMR handgun such as extraction problems. The extraction problems stem from the fact that the slow burning rifle powder of the .22 WMR cartridge develops a late peak pressure. This can cause the case mouth to expand and jam in the chamber when fired from a ...

The smaller .500" diameter was further popularized by the development of the .500 S&W Magnum in 2003. [2] There are semi-automatic, revolver, and single-shot.50 caliber handgun designs. Handguns of this caliber tend to be larger and heavier than most others of their type with the exception of the Linebaugh line of revolvers.
The Mk 211 is a very popular .50 caliber sniper round used in the Barrett M82 rifle and other .50 BMG rifles. [5] It is also often used in heavy machine guns such as the M2 Browning, but not the M85. Due to its popularity, several U.S. arms manufacturers produce the round under license from NAMMO Raufoss AS. [6]
Thus, a conversion to fire other cartridges can be quickly accomplished. The rim diameter of the .50 AE (Action Express) is the same as the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge, consequently, only a barrel and magazine change is required to convert a .44 Desert Eagle to the larger, more powerful, .50 AE round.
