Big handgun cartridge a half inch in diameter (12.7mm). Designed by Evan Whildin of Action Arms to be chambered in Magnum Research's massive Desert Eagle pistol. The case has a rebated rim, which makes it function better in semi-automatic pistols than rimmed cases, which are traditionally used in revolvers. A 300 gr. bullet from a 6" barrel of the DE has a velocity of 1,500 fps with 1,600 ft lb of forces, making it extremely overpowered for self defense against a human target.
Dispite its unpractical use for self defense, the .50 AE is frequently depicted from Hollywood films to video games due to the eye appeal of the Desert Eagle pistol. In real life, the .50AE is primarily used in target shooting for those who get a kick out of shooting big bore handguns. It is also a great handgun hunting cartridge for semi-auto enthuiasts. Some might be crazy enough to use the cartridge for self or home defense due to the Desert Eagle's frequent portrayal in the media.

Slacker with a cause, usually traveling in a quaint vehicle plastered with bumper stickers like "NO BLOOD FOR OIL," "REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS FOR ALL," and "SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PETS." Singularly unaware of irony and how stupid people look in knit rasta caps. While generally a conspiracy theorist, the activist often believes in the inherent goodness of mankind and will beat the shit out of her/his domestic partner for thinking differently.

Get the Activist mug.Normally a preachy, whiny person not unlike the very religious people that wander about trying to shun the extremists of their creed while painting themselves and their crusades as moral and just even if it means committing immoral acts such as dishonesty (see definition 11).
Often found on any form of media that allows them to voice themselves no matter how ignorant, hateful or repulsive the remarks they make.
Most often they are young, white teens in well off enough backgrounds that they never had to experience a lack of necessities, thus they are often very opinionated, will blindly support anyone they feel is serving the cause and will not research beyond what they feel is right (ie when they free animals sheltered in society and leave them to die trying to survive on their own).
The more extreme of the line tend to value animal life over human, unless it's themselves, and will stoop to any level to continue their "moral" crusade. There is no compromising with them, they feel they know more than everyone else, will often tout their veganism as their evidence they know more, and will shout down or coerce others through violence (See Sea Shepherd).
the only way to deal with them is to ignore them and within a short period tend to grow tired and leave as their moral crusade tends to come and go in surges much like fads.

Get the animal rights activist mug.You are having sexual intercourse with a woman and you are thrusting your penis into her anal cavity. Just before you are about to excrete manjuice, you pull out and spit on the woman's back so that she thinks you came. Then, as she turns around, you jack off in her face, leaving a sticky, smelly mess.
Woman: "Are you gonna cum?"
Man: "Yes honey, right now." *spit!*
Woman: "Wow, that was some great sex! Let me just turn around and-"
