50 caliber ammunition history starts with John Browning's development of the caliber during World War I for anti-aircraft use. This lead to the iconic .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round, a scaled-up .30-06, becoming crucial in WWII for aircraft and ground vehicles evolving through modern polymer cases for lighter weight. The .50 Action Express emerged in 1988 for the Desert Eagle, the legendary hand cannon. The Barrett M107A1 is the epitome of the caliber. Our 50 caliber drawer pulls make a great gift!
