Another boo-boo

[gun rant]

This boo-boo was on SVU on wednesday night (our time). Det. Benson was keeping an eye on a rape victim who was stalking her attacker and met her at a pistol range. The victim/stalker was shooting a .50 Desert Eagle (not the gun I'd recommend for a slight young lady, but there you go). They had a shot of her firing down range (quite well done) and one of the target, and when they showed the shot of the target, I was surprised to see around 14 holes in the target. Then the victim/terrorist - when asked by Det. Benson what she was shooting - said "it's a .50 calibre Desert Eagle with a 14 round clip."

[buzzer sound]

Unfortunately, the .50 cal Deagle only has a 7 round clip, and while an extended mag might be possible to make, when Benson pointed out that 14 round magazines were illegal in New York and the victim/stalker handed hers over, it was obviously a normal, single stack magazine.

Another important thing to realise here is that even if the slight, blonde victim could find the 14 round magazine, it would be around 6 inches+ long, and around an inch thick. How could she possibly hold and fire something with those dimensions with anything approaching comfort and accuracy? I mean, just look at the thing.



It's huge!
