Milsurps / Prohib Alexander Arms Beowulf Appreciation Post

Post image

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today we have a gun once available in Canada in small numbers before eventually being prohibited.

Today we have the Beowulf!

.50 Beowulf is an interesting cartridge because it was originally designed to take out an engine block, but the funny thing is that the cartridge found its own cult following for people who go hog hunting.

It’s also appealing for those who live up in Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut as they all gotta worry about bears and need something for bear defense. The amount of punch that the .50 Beowulf Cartridge delivers is enough for that.

In the states, one of the appeals we have for it is that it is a straight wall cartridge, and some states have hunting laws that only allow you to hunt with straight wall cartridges and not bottlenecked ones.

Anyways enjoy!

That’s actually a game that is known as Girls’ Frontline, where the character is named after the weapon they are holding.

This one in particular is Beowulf.

I mainly add it in there because Media plays a big part in firearms culture, more than people realize. It’s also why I add a lot of movie and video game references, and everyone in mainly the Millenial and Gen Z generations got into firearms that way. The media is there to help relate to the firearms where it’s like “Oh cool! I remember I played this game and saw that in this TV Show!” and then people have fun with the post.
