I have a black MK VII .50 AE and it's a very fun gun at the range. I even got a .44 barrel for it so I could shoot it more since reloading components are cheaper (at least, that's how I justified it). Not really practical for much else but handgun hunting although the .357 Mag shoots like a .22 pistol and can be brought back on target very quickly. 9 rounds of .357 spewing out double-quick is a lot of firepower.
If what internet rumors I've pieced together are accurate the gun was developed by IMI as a vehicle weapon for tankers and the like where even a carbine would be too large but would be powerful enough to put up an addiquate defense so they designed it around the .357 Magnum. Some rumors even say they were going for burst or full auto controllability and the existance of 20 round double stack magazines but I've never seen any evidence to back this up.
Hunting or range? Great gun. Carry gun? No way
