In one of the descriptions of the Ruger Super Warhawk, it is stated
as using 12mm rounds which are very close to .50 caliber. .50 caliber
is 12.5mm rounds so any .50 caliber handgun should have a similar
damage code, maybe 11M, but definitly not 10D. Don't forget a .50
caliber pistol is VERY different from a .50 caliber machine gun
round. The machine gun round is going to significantly large due to
the fact that rifles use a 3:1 length/width ratio and pistols use a
2:1 length/width ratio.

Life is like a Wankel Engine. In between the emptiness of boredom and
despair, and the compression of stress in one's life, there's that
one spark of enjoyment that keeps you going.
