Noreen recently came out with their 50bmg pistol version. Now they got a 16.5" rifle version. The muzzle blast is going to be insane.

We did a BFG50 16" bolt gun at Serbu once. It was a hoot. Not as much recoil as you would expect. Decent muzzle flash.

Remember when Mark sent the shorty to Al here in SoCal?
Can you guess who shot it first?  I think he still has it or Darin does, that was fun to shoot! |

Someplace I have a pic of the wife holding it. Can’t remember the guys name now. |

One-off novelty pistols aside, a production model might poke the bear too much. Not a good idea especially at this exact point in time. Honestly screw any manufacturer that barks up that tree... This is simply not true, and has been proven as such many times over many years. Making a pistol that can shoot some random cartridge does not make it a "pistol cartridge", and beyond that the AP law only affects the manufacture and importation, NOT the sale/ownership/use, of such rounds. For those that doubt, just look up the caliber options Thomspon/Center offers (and has for decades), and compare against currently-produced ammunition with solid-brass projectiles. It helps to have the actual law pertaining to "Armor Piercing Ammunition" on hand so you can see the definition they set. I have one of the supposedly-nonexistant Safety Harbor SHTF-50 "pistol" uppers, with a 12.5" barrel that conveniently has a permanent muzzle brake that brings it to 16.5" for deniability purposes. The blast is abusive, the recoil is about the same as a stout 12ga load. My shoulder can take it all day, but my sinuses are only good for 2-3 rounds before I'm getting a headache (and probably risking a retina separation) and need to call it. It still breaks 2000fps with any factory ammo, and even on the lighter end it has 2-3x the energy and momentum of a .308 round at the muzzle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 50cal: With all the what the ATF considered AR pistols, it would seem they would have taken issue with M855 green tip. They did. But if you look at the ATF doc I linked there are at least three AP rounds that are currently exempted due to 'sporting use'. M109, M855, and 30-06 M2. It alludes to others that have applied for exemption but I suspect they are low production 'solids'? |
