Anybody heard of .50 GI cartridge?

I saw a video on it today. Been around awhile but, have never heard of it.

Power wise it's about where the .45 Super is. It just has a fatter bullet. The designers said people have said for over a hundred years, that they carry a .45 because,  they don't make a .46 or anything else bigger. It was designed to be a carry gun. It's been out awhile and I just heard about it, so...... It may never be popular.

Nobody makes anything bigger or more powerful than the .45 & anyone who says different is just spouting Hollywood nonsense.

That does look like an ashtray about to take off.

The .50 G.I. has been around since 2006.  It and the guns for it are made by Guncrafter Industries. It seems it never caught on. The pistols Guncrafter make are custom guns. Reported to be extremely well made and accurate. However, the ammo is also custom and I know of no commercial source other than Guncrafter.  At roughly $50 for a box of 20 rounds. I think I'll pass.
