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.

A double action, polymer framed, semi automatic pistol manufactured by Heckler & Koch GmbH of Germany. Availible in .40 Smith & Wesson, 9x19mm Parabellum, and .45 ACP. There are many variants, including: The USP Compact (which, in addition to the three calibers mentioned above, is availible in .357 SIG), the USP Expert, USP Match, and USP Tactical. The USP was also the basis for the Mk23 Mod 0 SOCOM .45 ACP pistol. Many seem to think the only availible USP is the .45 ACP Tactical model, probably due to the fact that they know little or nothing about ANY guns not featured in some game called Counterstrike, if they even know that there are guns that EXIST outside those used in Counterstrike.
The Heckler & Koch USP is a rugged, reliable service pistol very well suited for military and police applications, as well as recreational shooting.
