It is a .50 Gi yes. and its made by gun crafters and yes actually it is a 22 I keep forgetting which one was which being it was origionally a .45 acp. The .50 Gi is a slower moving bullet your correct but it was rated at 300 grains at 800 fps. New ammo and 600 grain bullets do go over 1000 fps and hit like a ton of bricks.

Gotcha. I'd still rather have something that uses common ammo, but a .50 is serious business.

Believe it or not there is a website that has them in stock all the time. Being it isn't a common round, not many people buy it. Will tell you this huge difference in the versions of the bullet. 280 grain shoots like a .45, 300-350 a little more umph, 400 is nice, 600 hurts ya after 11 rounds. Your hand goes numb litterly.

For all of you that are happy you live in a nice area. Thieves don't rob poor people......Just saying. I used to know a few lowlifes that would make it a point to go to nicer area to liberate people of their belongings.

Really? You're going to take someone's life over a physical possession? Cars can be replaced, lives cannot. Get some insurance on the car and call it a day.

Damn this thread came up at the right time. Yesterday when I walked out to my car, I noticed the passenger side window (with the rubber piece attached to it was bent). So some idiot tried to jimmy my car open. I don't have an alarm, so they might come back. I couldn't sleep well last night because of this. Btw they couldn't get in, I don't know the reason y. Might be some amateurs

I remember when I was a younger the Viper alarm company had a commercial where a thief was breaking into a car and a huge Viper (snake) came out and scared the guy off. How about that. Put a huge hungry snake in your car. Sounds like a plan but I'm sure it would backfire

If I caught someone trying to steal my car I'm pretty sure I'd lock them in my shed and torture them for a week or so.

Thieves give up their right to life as soon as they initiate force against someone else's property. Killing them improves general quality of life for everyone else.

right back at you and your namby pamby bromide.

If you own an Evo, get an alarm ASAP.
