What is the largest caliber round you would trust firing in a handgun (even if that handgun doesn't exist)?
What is the largest caliber bullet you would buy, assuming you have a gun to fire it? (price:enjoyment ratio I guess)

Assuming I already have the gun? The biggest round I could. What kind of question is that?
if this is going where I think it is, at least 500 pound JDAM kit GP bombs to kill Shai Hulud.
Seriously- my advice is to find the largest caliber you are comfortable with using AND have the money to train with regularly. A .45 acp will be less effective if you rarely train with it than a 9mm you do.
I don't ever see myself wanting/buying anything bigger than a fifty.
25MM

Booby-trap it with nitroglycerine.

I always wanted to shoot a 2 gauge handgun
I know it would shatter my arm and shoulder and chest but I just want to
Shooting my 7.62x39 AR15 pistol one handed is quite comfy
I think ajax22 made a 7.5" AR10 pistol that was pretty controllable

.357 ?
Maybe 10mm.
Need enough dakka to put Boris ice cold to the ground, anything more than that is wasting money and magazine space.
for a gun, 12,7mm, for that one day I need to shoot a shitposting faggot the other side of the city. Bigger means shooting less at things that either don't care, or do care. And I am not retarded enough to shoot at a tank with something that doesn't carry my own weight in shaped charge.
>>30467107
Anything bigger than 500 SW is just plain irresponsible imo.
I have a 44 magnum and that shit was ridiculous enough already.
500 mag is about as big as I can tolerate in a handgun.

SHOT PLACEMENT
>>30467107
With that hydraulic handgun recoil doohickie they made a few years back, I'd say that 50 BMG is the largest round I'd be willing to fire off a pistol. I'd only get one shot off, but hey - it'd scare the fuck out of anything in front of me. And put an enormous hole in it.
Largest caliber I'd buy would be 30mm - anything past that and I don't think I'd get much funzies out of it.

>>30467107
Well I don't really see the fun personally in shooting artillery, so probably an anti material rifle or some sort of rocket launcher would be the biggest and most fun
>>30467485
Christ, the fireball would be amazing.
