Very few hunters use the .50AE in a Desert Eagle. For long-range shots, use
a rifle. If set on using a handgun, most choose a revolver (for flexibility
in handloading, for example). For close-range combat, if a shotgun or
carbine is not available, use a combat pistol.

Until recently, getting proper attribution (or even accreditation, or even
accredation, whatever that is) for Jim Choate's posts was difficult indeed,
due to his lack of text quoting markers.

Don't know who wrote the "Cyrptonomicon." Stephenson wrote the
"Cryptonomicon." I wrote the "Cyphernomicon."
As to which one Choate thinks was "good, but flawed," I don't care.
