If one's objective is to develop a big ole' flinch, absolutely.
Nice firearm for a established shooter though. One of the pilots on my board (an F-117 driver) was 'rumored' to pack a .50AE Desert Eagle on his sorties over downtown Baghdad, just in case.
Can't say i blame him. Getting shot down in I-rag with nothing but an M-9 or M-11 sounds like no fun at all to me...
