Desert Eagle .45 Long Colt/ .410 Shotgun Load Pistol

This is the offspring of a shotgun and a handgun. This little baby can hold a regular .45 long colt pistol round or a .410 shotgun round. The classic colt 45 revolver has been around long enough for variations to be made think: the judge. Keep in mind that although it can shoot a .410 shotgun shell, if your target is more than fifteen feet away, you risk the spread of the shot expanding the width of a small 4 cylinder car, which can hit other unintended targets or miss yours altogether.

Although handgun calibers vary and Desert Eagle produces an array of other pistols, this fifty caliber handgun is the household name.

Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum

If you think the 460XVR was a top handgun for the big dogs, then picture having an additional .04 calibers to the round's diameter. This means more powder into the bigger cartridge. From thirty yards you can obliterate any object, say, last Halloween’s pumpkins, or this summer's watermelon harvest. I mean obliterate in the literal sense, there will be nothing left of your target when using this animal.

50 Caliber Black Powder Wheel Lock Pistol

With a history longer than 200 years, the flintlock is a highly sought after collector’s item. The only way this weapon could ever be effective in self defense would be to beat in close quarters combat, hitting him repeatedly until he is knocked out. You only get one shot, and that isn't even a shot at all. It's a steel ball bearing packed with black powered, and your target better be within 10 yards or you just look like an idiot. The hammerlock pistols can't be blamed though, if these guys could talk after two and a half centuries of existence just think of the stories these guys could tell.
