LT, that weapon does come in .50, though it's not the .50 BMG round you're probably thinking of! I held it once. I asked the clerk if it came with an FO!!

Ouch, indeed! She's lucky she didn't take an eye out! She had decent enough form (firing stance, not bikini top; though that was nice, too), so I was surprised to see her muck it on the recoil.

Re: Why girls SHOULDNT fire Handguns

The most heavy hand cannon I've fired is a .44 Magnum Revolver Long Barrel. I'd say that lady's biggest problem was the jerks who thought it would be funny to not teach her how to fire that handgun properly. Gun safety is no joke.

It looked she knew how to stand and everytihng..but just didn't realize how much of a kick that thing had and didn't put tense her arms enough.

Re: Why girls SHOULDNT fire Handguns

Still, despite the injury she kept it pointing down range...good form I thought. The guy's T-shirt was a real turn off for me though.
I once fired five rounds with a .50 calibre handgun...not an 'Eagle' but a Western style revolver. It was a gate loader (one round at a time through a gate). Too powerful for me...I'm 5'11'' but I only weigh around 9 stone. My legs are the same diameter as most men's arms. I could barely keep holding the thing through the recoil.

Ouchie. Yup. .50AE is a tough round. And I most certainly agree that it was messed up she wasn't forewarned.
