Eh, what?

Our so called 'professional media' are idiots when it comes to guns. I still want one of those 44mm pistols I read about.

When a writers does something like that, it's best to just point, laugh, and make them ashamed of their ignorance.

44mm? That’s 1.73 inches. Other than as a flare gun, what the heck do you do with it? Anyway, here is a cool picture of a 37mm flare gun, with a bipod, no less.

Or, when talking to the cops they said single action automatic pistol and the reporter didn’t have a clue and left out the word action.

44mm pistol? Wow!!! That’d be like a 1.73 cal. bullet!
That’s bigger than a 40mm grenade launcher on an M-203!
Who makes that?

I know the Ruskies during WW2 had the 45mm M1937 anti-tank gun. I wonder if they ever converted one into a pistol?

LOL!
