Wow, where can I get one of these!?!?

Perhaps not surprisingly, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune seems to have a fact wrong in the following story:

The goings-on are bad news, and the shooter seems a little skeevy as portrayed in the story, but check this out, courtesy of Jim Adams, Intrepid Reporter:

Bartlett was waiting for police and directed them to the basement where they found Storrusten dead, with a 50 mm handgun a few feet away.

[SARCASM] Wouldn't a 50 mm handgun be really dangerous and difficult to shoot? [/SARCASM]

Thought some folks might get a chuckle at a media member's expense. Enjoy!

One of these? Lot easier to handle recoil than that 50mm anti-aircraft handgun!!

I hear they can shoot down airplanes.

I hear they can shoot down planets and destroy the Ozone layer with a single shot. They must be banned!

No, that's the .500 S&W. The 50mm shoots down space stations. No joke...

What?? you couldn't handle a 1.97 cal. handgun?? 1.97 inches is just about where I start considering dumping the derringer for something SERIOUS.

Usual inaccurate news story. But the 50mm handgun does not shoot down space stations or satellites or anything else...except superman yes thats right folks it shoots down Superman.

Thats cute.

I'm thinking maybe a 1.97 cal handgun might have been overkill? Just a thought.

OR...well, wait....Was his brother-in-law superman? Did it say one way or another socal?

A true one-stop-shot hand gun. A little heavy though and not very concealable.
