I'm trying to make a a pair of WI's outside my usual interests. The first one is weapons related discussions.
What if .50 caliber handguns where invented earlier. Looking at Wikipedia, the mechanism where invented in the 80's, and it's automatic-rifle-like mecanism allowed a bigger round.
But assult rifles where old news by then. What if someone invented a similar mechanism and started using a .50 caliber round in say 1965? Exept Dirty Harry using one in the movies, a thought that inspired this tread.
