It's weird when I see old guns like this in museums or actually get the hold them, I kind of freak out that I'm seeing or holding something of historical important.
Antiques guns > Modern guns, hands down! :)
A very effective anti-tank gun in the early years of WWII (1939-1943), but later became obsolete near the end of the war due to better armor on tanks (1943-1945), and many other nations used them as sniper rifles.
Dirty Harry came out in the early 70's, way before .500 mag or .454 casull were developed. The .44 magnum was the powerful handgun in the world at that time.

The .454 Casull cartridge was in existence long before Dirty Harry. The thing was that there was no gun yet to fire the round from! The Freedom Arms 5-shot revolver for the .454 wasn't introduced until 1972.
Better than an AK-47! I just pretend to know firearms. I'm too shaky to shoot; would have about a 45 degree variance in front of me. Did score expert on M-16 when young.
